Community Garden Reading Comprehension
The Garden That Grew Together
At the start of spring, Brianna and her neighbors found their community garden in rough shape. Weeds crowded the paths, stones covered the planting beds, and the soil had become packed and dry. “We could give up,” Brianna said, “but I think this garden still has a chance.” On Saturday, neighbors arrived with gloves, shovels, and wheelbarrows. They pulled weeds and carried away the stones. Then they loosened the soil and mixed in compost made from old leaves and vegetable scraps. Mr. Lee showed the group how to plant seeds with enough space to grow. They chose beans, tomatoes, and squash. For several weeks, the gardeners took turns watering the beds. When one row of bean seedlings looked droopy, Brianna noticed that the soil was dry. She watered it, and the plants stood upright again by the next morning. By midsummer, the garden was full of green leaves and bright vegetables. The neighbors shared the harvest with families nearby. They also sold some vegetables at a weekend market and used the money to buy a rain barrel. “We didn’t just grow food,” Brianna said. “We grew something we can care for together.”
