Day 5 - Leadership
October 28th - Today was a particularly special day, as my supervisor felt confident enough to give me the reigns for a change. With the weather becoming more and more chilly as the days go by, it’s getting to that point where it’s no longer healthy for the plants to remain outside. This started the project of getting the potted plants into the greenhouses where they will be able to survive the winter. This is an important process because Growing Power runs all year long. Since no one else was available, my supervisor was required to do the tours that usually take place on Saturdays. That being said, there was no one to direct the project of transitioning the pots. He told me that he trusted my judgment and that I should get the pots wherever I believe they best belong. This then required me to direct the other volunteers to where they should place the other materials, ensuring that there is still enough space for everyone else to be able to walk through the greenhouse. After several hours, we were able to move everything where it needed to go, and in the end my supervisor was happy with the job we did.
