The SeedFolks-2 The garden Kim starts in SeedFolks becomes part of many of the neighbor’s lives. The garden is home to them. Some use the garden to overcome problems, and some use them to help them with their problems. In the story as they work together they become family. That is what I will be talking about in my essay. As I said the gardeners had used the garden to overcome problems. That is what many of them did. One of the characters in the story was a teenage girl. She had everything until she got pregnant, and then believed she was left with nothing. She had joined a club at school for young girls who had made the same mistake. The leader made the girls work in the garden to gain responsibility. Not only did she do that, but the garden helped her to realize that the baby was a special living thing just like the garden and that she couldn’t just give up on it. The seedFolks used the garden to help them as well, and that is what a young man did. He had the muscles the looks and the life, but he lost the thing most important to him the girl. He knew she loved tomatoes so he planted some. He made his own spot in the garden for her, and sure enough she knew he changed. The garden helped him recover lost love. The garden not only helped the SeedFolks gain love and responsibility, but a family too. As they worked together to solve and fix problems they connected and became close friends and neighbors. Each of them could relate to each other. The garden was their home they worked together so they could keep it. The SeedFolks created a new life that summer. Not only did they change a neighborhood, but a few people too. They came together as one. They never gave up. To think it all started with a girl and a lima bean.
