One Little Lot: The 1-2-3s of an Urban Garden

In a bustling, urban neighborhood, count the ways one little lot becomes a beautiful community vegetable garden.

Count all the ways (one to ten) an urban community unites to clean up an abandoned lot. From building planter boxes to pulling weeds to planting seeds, everyone works together to transform the lot into a bountiful vegetable garden. As the garden grows, strangers become friends, eventually sharing in a special feast with the harvest they grew.
