Text and translation

Our group helped at a community garden on Sunday. We carried tools from the storage room. Some volunteers planted flowers near the entrance. Others cleaned the paths and collected empty bags. The organiser brought water and sandwiches for everyone. We left the garden much tidier than before.

ساعدت مجموعتنا في حديقة مجتمعية يوم الأحد. حملنا الأدوات من غرفة التخزين. زرع بعض المتطوعين أزهارًا قرب المدخل. نظف آخرون الممرات وجمعوا الأكياس الفارغة. أحضر المنظم ماءً وشطائر للجميع. تركنا الحديقة أكثر ترتيبًا بكثير من ذي قبل.
