A Letter from Sunstone Courtyard
Dear Talia,
Yesterday my class visited Sunstone Courtyard, a shared garden beside the bus stop in our desert city. A sign gives three garden rules: walk on the stone paths, take only ripe tomatoes, and return tools to the shed. These rules help the garden stay safe and ready for everyone. One city law says people may use only the marked spigots in public gardens. The law helps protect the city's limited water. A gardener may ask someone who breaks a garden rule to fix the problem, such as putting a tool away. A city worker may give a person a ticket for breaking the water law. I liked helping care for a place we all use!
Your friend, Milo
