first meeting for the green thumbs.

This week, Lower Manhattan Community Middle School's Green Thumb club met for the first time on the farm.  We were able to pick some cherry tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, scotch-bonnet peppers and carrots.  Also, everyone brought home a bouquet of marigolds.

The urban farm missed this all-start farmer all summer.  Glad to see he was excited to get back!
