As the gardening year comes to an end, it is with sincere gratitude that I extend thanks to the parents and community members who helped to make the Holbrook Community Garden a success this past school year and summer months.

Wow, what a crew! Mrs. Valley’s recruitment of volunteers, and organization of the calendar makes it all possible! But without everyone’s help, the garden wouldn’t be possible, so thank you for your time and hard work! Recently, the Normans suggested raising the open bed section to offset the wet area in the spring. They donated timber to frame the open garden, and their time and muscle to make the raised bed. Thank you, Rhonda and Dave, for your time, talent, and teamwork to improve and sustain the garden! Also, I would like to extend my thanks to Hummingbird Hollow for their donations of seedlings, and the delivery of soil to the garden. They are a great community resource, always willing to give valuable advice on gardening. Thank you to Miss Jan Logan and Mr. Daryl Frye, along with my husband, Mr. Roberts, for helping with equipment, setting up in the spring, and putting away in the fall. We added a new picnic table this year, Mr. Frye went to pick it up, and assembled

    Swidden agriculture also known as slash-and-burn is depicted in a negative light because of myths that has been created from people who are not familiar with its practice or do not understands its purpose. One of the narrative is that it creates a useless and unsustainable land. This could be easily misunderstood as the image of the land after being burned can be seen lifeless and barren. People tend to associate a fertile land with lush greens with the sun in the background and not the image of swidden agriculture. Furthermore, media portrayal of wildfire only puts the idea that wildfire are harmful and should be put out which only makes swidden agriculture seem destructive.

    I should have listened to my parents when they scolded me to “Finish your plate, I can still see three pieces of broccoli.” What can I say? I was a stubborn child who, to this day will not touch anything with a hint of potato. I never realized how vital vegetables were to a diet until that’s all I could, or would, eat.

    “Even a child who dislikes tomatoes could likely tell the difference between a watery mass-market tomato and a grandmotherly (if not pie-baking) heirloom” (Kingsolver 622). While local food may taste better, it is usually more expensive than the supermarkets. These vegetables that are grown on a large scale for supermarkets provide a much more affordable option for those who need it. Families that are struggling to make ends meet, but still need fresh fruit and vegetables, benefit greatly from the reduced price of supermarket produce. However, if it is within the budget, most people have the option of going to a local farmer’s market.
