Last week we split up into 4 groups and as I am a HUGE Maze Runner Fan I couldn't help naming the jobs (like in the books).
The four groups were slicers (cutting down old plants and vines that were dead), buggers (cutting the basil and mint that had aphids), pullers (airing soil) and pluckers (weeds).
Unfortunately after the winter holidays our garden was eaten by........ SNAILS!!
Snails are every gardeners arch-enemy. They eat your plants which pretty much kill them.
We found the majority of the plants dead, which was annoying as we put in a lot of time planting them.
All I can say is WATCH OUT SNAILS!!

11 November, 2015
Today we had to go into the room as it was raining.
We were suppose to collect herbs and spices from our garden but instead we just wrote and decorated human-carrying posters and pasted it on the cardboards. We will be using those posters on the day of community fair. I hope people buy all of our herbs that we grew with care.
Everyone was enthusiastic about our work and had different amazing ideas for each posters.
Ah! We also had campus gardening group with us! It was the first time to see so many people working in the service. I hope we can frequently meet and talk to each other. :)
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AN AMAZING DAY!
