Day 4: Revision Urban Farm & Beach

Day four of our service started with Revision Urban Farm. We had previously worked on this farm on day three of our service and were going to finish where we left off. The group was split into two. One half worked on finished weeding, and digging beds in their much larger farm while the other half focused on planting seeds to be germinated in their greenhouse. Crystal really enjoyed working with the group of single mothers which lived across from their farm. Arion, who was interested in learning the beginning stages of growing stayed with the other half. He really liked mixing and creating a moist soil for the seeds to be bedded into. James was fond of digging and creating the beds for the plants to be put into.
The other half of our day was spent relaxing at Carson beach which was not too far from Revision Urban Farm. We ate lunch and spent a lot of time digging up clay from the shore line. Arion even took some home. This was refreshing considering the weather was in the high 80's. After the beach we spent the rest of the day venturing through the center of Boston. We watched street performers, visited comic book stores, and walking along their famous freedom trail to Bunker Hill.
The last part of our day was spent reflecting. We each wrote three questions and passed them around in a hat for everyone to answer. This was a strong team building exercise, so much so that we decided to choose the two most popular questions for everyone to answer. Some of the group members took the conversation to the roof and others went to sleep. All in all yesterday was an awesome day!
