Zion participated in a gardening workshop that was a part of the Growing Food and Building Confidence program sponsored by the Nation of Islam. We learned the importance of urban gardening. Zion planted okra, created a seed chart, and transplated a flower. Next April we plan to participate in the gardening program offered by the Lederer Environmental Center in D.C. Each child get's his own plot of land to plant and harvest a variety of produce. It's a free program taught by an African American male horticulturalist with 30 years experience. You can't get any better than that!
