The local high school is encouraging their National Honor Society to be part of a community service project.  They would like the whole group of 18 juniors and seniors to volunteer in the garden on three Saturdays.  In addition to helping plant, some of the students have other talents and interests such as working with children, painting, or writing articles for the small local newspaper.  How can you put all their talents to use and let them feel part of the community garden?
Since your gardeners have been dedicated to buying their tools and supplies at the local hardware store, the owner has decided to reward you for your business.  She will donate five sets of new and slightly used tools to your community garden group.  She requested that you put a small sign in the garden advertising their shop.
It's the hottest summer on record but your community garden is the lucky recipient of a new water tap!  An anonymous donor stated that a water pipe should be accessible to all the community gardeners at your site to encourage them to continue gardening and beautifying the neighborhood.  Your group will have to pay the water bills but they should be affordable.
