A Saturday in the Garden
Lena stepped through the gate of the neighborhood garden with a pair of gloves tucked into her pocket. She had promised to help Mr. Lee plant vegetables, but she had never planted anything before. Mr. Lee handed Lena a trowel. He showed her how to loosen the dark soil and make a shallow hole. Lena placed a bean seed inside, covered it gently, and patted the earth flat. Then she poured a little water over the spot. While they worked, Lena noticed a row of tomato plants with bright red fruit. Mr. Lee explained that the garden's volunteers shared the vegetables with families in the neighborhood. Lena liked knowing that the seed she planted might help someone later in the summer. Before leaving, she made a small marker for the bean seed and pushed it into the soil. She asked Mr. Lee when she could come back to check for a sprout. He smiled and said, “Give it a few days, and keep the soil damp.” Lena walked home already planning her next visit.
