We attended our final Second Saturday volunteer event for
the season and worked at Hope House near downtown Phoenix. It is a wonderful old house built in 1870
that provides housing and educational support for young women as well as an
urban farm on the property. Best if you
read the brief description on the website:
The tasks for the morning were to paint the lower exterior
of the house, put in fence posts for a gate, clean up the yard and garden and
start planting. We were on the garden
crew and we able to pull up weeds, remove mulch, move dirt and perform general
clean up. We let others do the tilling
of the soil and the planting as it was new to them but regular work for
us. It was a great morning, not too warm
and very rewarding.
We didn’t get many photos due to technical issues with the
camera (low battery!!)
And for an economic difference between British Columbia and
Arizona, here’s what $16.11 USD will buy at a grocery store called Food City
(FYI that is 7.5 lbs of chicken leg meat and a 2.5 lb Papaya):
What would this cost in BC?
