內容簡介 空地變花園 好點子改變整個社區紐約繁忙的社區Harlem，有一個閒置的空地，女孩Nevaeh 稱它為鬼花園，因為裡面充滿破罐子、瓶子或是壞掉的電視。有一天，學校來了新老師Tony，他帶領學生清理花園，一件一件地將垃圾送進垃圾堆，並運來乾淨土壤和種子，Nevaeh 和同學每天播種、覆土、澆水、鋤草，仔細照顧。不久，花園長滿了豆子、薄荷、羅勒、香菜、小黃瓜、茄子、草莓、藍莓、番茄…變成小農場了。孩子們將親手栽種的果實、蔬菜帶回家，變成健康美味的晚餐。這個計畫開始的5年後，在父母與孩子的支持下，小農場已經可以一年生產上千磅的蔬果了，而這些農產賣出的收入直接回饋給孩子和他們的家庭。 Harlem Grown 是一個獨立的非營利組織。本書的收入將直接捐給 Harlem Grown。"
