Oakland Gardens Branch Waters Community Garden (07/25/2024)

This was the 96th event held by AYLUS Oakland Gardens. On July 25, 2024, members of AYLUS’s Oakland Gardens Branch visited Crocheron Park to water and weed the plants. The activity was enjoyable and kept us engaged in watering the plants.

We would like to thank Jessica and her friends at Crocheron Park for allowing us to care for their garden bed. Since Jessica couldn’t join us for this event, we had to go to her house to gather the necessary tools and materials, such as the gardening hose and spray nozzle. We asked some members to use the key Jessica gave us to open the latch. We used buckets we brought from home to fill up and water the plants faster.

Before watering the plants, we needed to weed them. Our members put on gloves so that pulling the weeds would be easier and safer. Once we finished weeding the garden beds, we brought everything back and set up the hose and began watering the plants. Our members enjoyed the weather there and they said the breeze kept them cool and focused on the task. After we were done watering, our members rolled up the hose and we went to return all the items and materials Jessica gave us.

We want to thank Jessica and her friends at Crocheron Park and John Golden Park for helping us with this event.
