29-Day Giving Challenge

My first Gift will be a kind of project, and include several parts of work. I live in a town with lots of abandoned houses, which slowly fall apart, despite still being beautiful. Most of them have gardens, which, of course, are overgrown and unkempt. Unfortunately, many people see those gardens as a dumpster, and throw their trash into them. My project is to go and clean some of the gardens, gather the trash, clean the passageways and to plant a few flowers in the abandoned flowerbeds. I hope that will make passers by smile, be a gift to the owner of the house. Cans and plastic garbage can be dangerous for small animals or birds, so collecting the trash will be good for them too. And it will be good for me - I simply love gardening. I already have bought gloves and trash bags, as well as a showel. Just waiting for sunrise, when nobody will notice me.
