Today I took my trip up to ECHO, as the tours were not available I took it upon myself to just walk around the nursery and see what ECHO had to offer for the time being. As I browsed through the isles of vegitation, I came across a family out shopping for plants and fruits. I asked them if they normally come to ECHO for their vegitation needs or if this was their first time, they replied that they had never been to ECHO before but they were looking to start planting in their backyard as a way to keep their kids entertained over the summer and show them a little bit of responsibility. We shared some more brief conversation before saying our good-byes and leaving, on my way home I thought about what the family had said, wondering if more families thought this way and gave their children something to do with their time what the outcome would be, not only for their family but the environment overall. This definitely made the hour long drive worth it!
