Sandstone Arch or also known as Natural Arch is a natural rock formation where a rock arch forms, with an opening underneath. Most natural arches from as a narrow bridge, walled by cliffs, become narrower from erosion, with a softer rock stratum under the cliff-forming stratum gradually eroding out until the rock shelters thus formed meet underneath the ridge, thus forming the arch. Natural arches commonly form where cliffs are subject to erosion from the sea, rivers or weathering; the processes "find" weakness in rocks and work on them, making them larger until they break down.

Community gardens
"The Mission of the American Community Gardening Association is to build community gardening and greening across the United States and Canada"
A community garden is a single piece of land
gardened collectively by a group of people. There are several gardens
located in different areas around the city of Macon. These community
gardens mainly grow different vegetables, such as: pumpkins, beans, carrots,
cabbages and etc. These gardens are grown with the love and help of the
community volunteers.
Georgia is known for
its abundance of clay, therefore the community gardens do not use soil found in
the Macon city area, and instead have soil shipped in from nearby farms.
Community gardens
provide fresh produce and plants as well as satisfying labor, neighborhood
improvement, sense of community and connection to the environment. They
are publicly functioning in terms of ownership, access, and management.
