- There are about eight gardens that the teens work in during the week. They consist of a fruit orchard, two production gardens and several back yard gardens. This is where the teens spend most of there time, while at Walnut Way. They tend to the gardens weeding, watering, and harvesting. Its a lot of hard work but they manage to be determined and get the job done.
