So we worked on this thing a little more.

For one, we began talking around with a few more people. Primarily, the principal.

After getting some time, the entire group went out and headed up to the principal's office for a little talk. He was quite supportive of us. Supportive, but not exactly optimistic. He began talking about the possible pitfalls of our project, the flaws, the challenges we would have to overcome. Well, let's just say that there was a significant amount of red tape involved with our previous proposition.

I anticipated some forms here and there, but it took several teachers quite some time and quite a bit of paperwork for them to be approved for the operation of the school's current garden. How were we, a small group of four students going to be able to accomplish that? Well, the principal then gave us some ideas for the project. Some alternatives.

We particularly liked this one: Talk to the teachers running the already established garden at school, and ask to become the custodians of the garden. All we had to do was ask for it.

Going back to Battig, one of the co-owners of the garden in the first place, we talked to her about this plan. She said it was a good one. We even got half a garden plot of call our own.

Then she pointed us to the other two teachers we needed to talk to. But that is a task for next week.
