As the first week of TRACE began, the new interns were eager to know what they would learn throughout this
experience. Even though Bessemer is
known for gardening, it was more than that. TRACErs learned to expand their
mind to different and broader forms of oppression, creative activism, structure
building, and team work. Before starting work in the garden our artist Tim
showed us how to make soil using: rich soil, cow manure, and worm manure. We
also learned how to transplant our, vegetables, and herbs into the garden bed.
As TRACErs worked hard all week, it
was tragic to see that one of our garden bins were burned down. Everybody was
disappointed to see our hard work had been damaged on the first week. Besides
that, we still continued to build up our garden and we’re making GREAT
progress.
