Green Street used to be quiet and common. It had little community activity,  1     things have changed over the past few years. A group of neighbors, 2    by Sarah, decided to change an unused corner of the street 3    a community garden. She was inspired after seeing similar projects in nearby towns and thought, “Why not  4    it here?”

The project began with just a few flower beds, but soon many vegetables and herbs were 5   . The garden is thriving day by day. The  6     are glad because they are useful for their lives. And anyone in the area can contribute or take what they need. Sarah encourages the neighbors to 7    by organizing workshops on planting and harvesting. “It’s not just about growing food; it’s about growing friendships,” she says.

Some people were doubtful at first, 8     that the garden might be broken or misused. However, it has 9    become a space where people of all ages gather, share knowledge, and enjoy the  10     produce. Local children, who often prefer fast food, have surprised everyone by eagerly trying the fresh vegetables they’ve grown 11    . Their parents are really happy to see the 12     .

The project has even encouraged other 13    in the town to create their own green spaces. “It’s amazing what 14    happen when a community comes together,” Sarah says. “This isn’t just about 15   ; it’s about bringing life back to Green Street.”
