Outside Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, the typical scenery is there: cars filling the parking lot, made from tons of concrete, and cars going for miles on a highway of asphalt. What is atypical nearby, is a vast patch of collard greens.
The farm adjacent to the school is loaded with greens and vegetables. The greenhouse contains lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, and other delicious produce. Several students and a teacher care for budding plants in tiny cups. It’s a botany class, and these students are practicing what they learn.
