Bermudian kids love the Botanical Gardens
Last week I was walking around the gardens with my camera and I happened to come across this group of young girls. I stopped to talk to them about the possible loss of this national treasure and they were very concerned about it. One of the girls exclaimed to me that there were "so few places left in Bermuda where you can go to relax" while another girl expressed that she would "feel sad if the gardens vanished because they are so beautiful".
I'd like to encourage more young Bermudians to get involved with saving the gardens. So this post is mainly directed at all you youngsters out there.
If you like the Botanical Gardens you can do lots of things to help save them. You can get your class at school to take part in the Virtual March and ask them to write letters or e.mails to the Premier. Tell your friends to look at this website and ask your parents to help too. Just because you are not old enough to vote yet doesn't mean your feelings don't count. It's YOUR future that is going to be affected by this decision and our Government needs to know how you feel too.
I would like to thank the girls who I met in the Botanical Gardens last week - they texted me all their names but unfortunately my phone erased them before I wrote them down.
