Since 2015, incarcerated men have cared for and maintained the garden at Tecumseh State Correctional Institution (TSCI).  When asked about the garden, the men speak of how much they enjoy the work, and the sense of pride they feel when walking by the garden on the way to the ball field every day.  Of the garden, one incarcerated individual describes the feeling, “When I’m out there I can focus [on my work], and not feel like an inmate.”  So far this summer has been hot and the plants show it, so those who work the garden have developed an irrigation system to ensure all plants get the water they need.  “We get innovative with it!” they said.  Great work!
