City Gardeners
1 Open space is rare in the city, and people who live in apartments do not have lawns or land. Some people have found space for gardens. They plant them in empty lots in the city. Little pockets of green dot the cold, gray cement and make the city brighter.
2 Tomatoes, green beans, and colorful flowers grow here. Roses climb up the old bring walls. A child may play among the rows of sweet peas and squash. A jogger may sit in the sun for a while on a bench. People feel welcome in the gardens. They like to get away from the busy city streets.
3 Something special is growing in these places. It is friendship. People of all ages from the neighborhood come together in the gardens. Some people donate seeds or tools. Others contribute their time. Side by side, members of the community work to help keep their city green. As they take care of the garden, they also learn about each other. The gardeners talk and share stories. They find that they have things in common. Friendships are formed, and the friends look out for each other. That makes the streets safer for everyone.
4 Some people have other plans for the open space. They want to put up tall buildings where the gardens are planted. But they may be unaware of how important the gardens are. The gardeners do not want to give up their gardens. They want the city to stay green. The gardeners have worked hard to make something beautiful.
5 Some people are fighting to save the gardens. One way of addressing the problem is to write letters to city leaders. The letters tell why the gardens are needed. Sometime the buildings go up anyway, but at least the gardeners try.
