9. How the garden inspires The garden shows how we can unite to achieve one goal, which is to plant the seeds of nature, and watch them thrive. A sign in the garden urges students to come together to protect and preserve it. Ongoing construction at Oakland High has put the garden’s future in jeopardy. Photo/Aegis staff
