12 Week Committment

Welcome to my intern blog— a space where I can share my toils and triumphs in the fields of The Lord's Acre. TLA is a non-profit garden on 3/4s of an acre in rural Fairview, NC. I will be working four days a week harvesting, planting, and collaborating with volunteers and other interns to distribute the tons of food to the surrounding community.

I have very little garden experience, limited to a day planting and mulching at a local community garden in Wilmington, NC. However, my love and appreciation for food security and education began several years ago when I worked at a kids' art camp at Vance Elementary. There, a school garden offers fresh produce and a place for curiosity to flourish. Watching the kids' eyes sparkle as they picked blueberries or found a green pepper ready for picking was so inspiring.

And so, I'm back in the garden two years later; a much larger garden, for a much longer period of time, but still doing the same: learning, growing, and sharing. Stay tuned.
