The girls were concerned that kids did not have safe areas to play, so they created a Garden of Imagination for girls and Fort Campsite for boys at Aldridge Gardens. They cleaned up an unused area by removing weeds and designating a path to the area. The girls also built forts, made signs, collected bins to store things in and built a pretend fire pit. Their focus was to show children how to have fun outdoors, use their imaginations and learn to keep the gardens clean.
The project taught the girls communication and leadership skills, as well as responsibility and teamwork.
