As featured on Humans of New York "Hartland's joyful folk-art
illustrations bop from the gray-toned jazzy vibrancy of a bustling
city neighborhood to the colorful harvest of a lush urban farm."
--The New York Times "An inspiring picture book for youngsters with
meaningful ties to the environment, sustainability, and community
engagement." --Booklist Discover the incredible true story of
Harlem Grown, a lush garden in New York City that grew out of an
abandoned lot and now feeds a neighborhood. Once In a big city
called New York In a bustling neighborhood There was an empty lot.
Nevaeh called it the haunted garden. Harlem Grown tells the
inspiring true story of how one man made a big difference in a
neighborhood. After seeing how restless they were and their lack of
healthy food options, Tony Hillery invited students from an
underfunded school to turn a vacant lot into a beautiful and
functional farm. By getting their hands dirty, these kids turned an
abandoned space into something beautiful and useful while learning
about healthy, sustainable eating and collaboration. Five years
later, the kids and their parents, with the support of the Harlem
Grown staff, grow thousands of pounds of fruits and vegetables a
year. All of it is given to the kids and their families. The
incredible story is vividly brought to life with Jessie Hartland's
"charmingly busy art" (Booklist) that readers will pore over in
search of new details as they revisit this poignant and uplifting
tale over and over again. Harlem Grown is an independent,
not-for-profit organization. The author's share of the proceeds
from the sale of this book go directly to Harlem Grown.
