Planting Trees

volunteering | LucyOn a cloudy Sunday at the end of June (the 28th to be exact), GKT volunteered with Antioch University and planted trees, bushes, and plants in the Woodlawn cemetery in Keene. The girls that chose to come out and get down and dirty were Allie, Carolynn, Mina, Laura, myself, and Alishia (who planned the volunteering, yay Leesh!). We planted I’d say about 30 different green leafy things. They ranged from blueberry bushes, to different types of small trees. At first it was really hard to get the shovels in the ground because the ground was somewhat hard. Be warned: digging holes does have a learning curve! Anyway, we managed and laughed about it all the way till we got picked up by our parents.
This volunteering event was the most fulfilling volunteering I’ve done with the group. Maybe because I knew and got to see my impact right away when I planted the tree into the ground. And I’ll get to visit and see my trees grow! It was a really cool, and I hope I get to do it again soon!
