My experience at Kelly Street Garden was amazing because I learned so many things about different varieties of plants and each of them helps each other and how to harvest them. I also learned the benefits of many plants; for example, Plantain help the itching on your skin after a bug bite or poison ivy. I learned to cook different foods at KSG such as Banana and Beets smoothie as well as pesto. — Daron Glover, aged 16, SYEP intern
