Lauren Talarico, WLTX Producer, came out to the garden last week and did an excellent story on the community garden. A 'breaking news story' prevented it airing that night, but it did air yesterday. She took lots pictures and interviewed several of the gardeners.
Auntie Karen and Gordon's Garden got some air time too!! Here is the link to the interview, WLTX News Story
Gordon is one of the Auntie Karen Foundation's Jamaican Yams. Yusef and Yolanda are Whipper and Mya’s parents. Whipper is Gordon's best friend. Whipper's parents fear that Gordon's weight and eating habits are putting him at risk for developing Diabetes. To help Gordon, they are planting a garden; giving Gordon access to fresh vegetables will help him eat healthier foods. Working in the garden will help Gordon get some needed exercise.
