Reading Practice: A Garden Behind the Community Hall

Reading Text

The empty space behind the community hall was full of weeds. A group of neighbors decided to turn it into a garden. Nia made a simple plan with three paths and six small beds. The group asked the hall manager for permission and received it. They agreed to meet every Sunday morning to work together.

First, the neighbors cleared the weeds and collected fallen branches. They filled the beds with soil from a nearby garden center. One bed was for herbs, two were for vegetables, and the others held flowers. Nia put labels beside each row so that everyone knew what was growing. Children watered the plants with small green cans.

By summer, the neighbors could pick lettuce, beans, and mint. They shared the vegetables at a picnic in the hall. The garden also gave people a pleasant place to sit after work. The group kept a notebook about planting dates and watering. They planned to add a bench next year, but they wanted to see how the garden changed first.
