What Grew in Larry’s Garden besides unusually colorful tomatoes, carrots, rainbow chard, purple potatoes, and more was kindness, trust, warmth, beauty, healing, love and so much more.

Larry’s summer garden grew vegetables. The heirloom tomatoes provided Larry with seeds he sprouted in winter for his students. His students cared for them and watched them grow. Then the students gave the plants away to neighbors and strangers alike, along with an individualized letter as to why they were being gifted with the plant.

Community can grow from small acts of kindness like tiny seeds into fruitful plants.

Based on a true story.
