seedleaf

ryan's non-profit, seedleaf, is in full swing this summer. click on the link to read about the happenings.

i've had the privilege of giving away the vegetables that they've been harvesting. quite a bit has gone to ms. teresa, the cook at the kid's cafe. we've also given some to ms. smallwood, a 96-year old african american woman who lives not even a block away from the london ferrill community garden. she has a great story. she graduated from tuskegee university in alabama with a teaching degree. instead of going into teaching, ms. smallwood decided to get a nursing degree. during her time in tuskegee, she informed me that there was a pretty scandalous syphilis experiment going on. that'll fire a soul up.

i've also given veggies to a loving grandmother who lives a couple of blocks from the garden and cares so well for her two grandkids.

i'm quite proud of ryan and what he's doing for our community in lexington.
