PaginePaginepagineapp.comEvery October, Mr. Osei's class helps at the community garden. The tomatoes and beans are finished, but the squash and potatoes are ready to harvest.
Leila digs carefully around a potato plant and discovers five potatoes hiding in the soil, like buried treasure. Tomás carries the heavy squash to the scale.
Together, the class harvests 42 kilograms of vegetables. They keep a little for a class soup and donate the rest to the neighbourhood food bank.
"The garden fed the bees in summer," says Mr. Osei, "and now it feeds our neighbours."
