        <h1>A small garden brings a block together</h1>
        <p class="byline">By Maya Chen</p>
        <p>Last spring, the empty lot on Pine Street was full of weeds. Today it has tomatoes, sunflowers, and a bright blue bench. More than twenty neighbors helped turn the quiet space into a community garden.</p>
        <p>The work started with a simple note on a door. It asked if anyone wanted to clean the lot on Saturday. Eight people came that first morning. They filled bags with litter, pulled old roots, and made a plan for six garden beds.</p>

        <h2>A place to learn</h2>
        <p>Children from the nearby school now visit every Tuesday. They measure plants, look for insects, and learn why soil needs water and air. Each child gets to pick one vegetable to care for.</p>
        <p>The garden also has a free shelf. Neighbors place extra food there for anyone to take. In its first month, the shelf shared more than one hundred cucumbers, peppers, and bunches of herbs.</p>
        <h2>What comes next</h2>
        <p>The group plans to add two rain barrels and a path that is easier for wheelchairs. They also want to hold a fall meal at one long table. Everyone on the block will be invited.</p>
        <p>The garden is still small, but neighbors say it changed how the street feels. People stop to talk, children know more names, and the old empty lot has become a place that belongs to everyone.</p>
