Gardening with Rivka Mason, Malcolm X Elementary School Garden, Berkeley


I visited Rivka Mason today at the Malcolm X Elementary School Garden in Berkeley, where she’s been teaching edible gardening to kids for 22 years. Her curriculum includes the life sciences, ecology, and nutrition, and one of today’s lessons focused on the water cycle. The kids took part in many activities, from learning how to add compost to the garden to making “burritos” with the collard greens they harvested.
