This morning’s ride to Markham Middle School took us through Pasadena Arroyo, Chinatown, downtown LA, and south central LA and into Watts. This was our first time at the school, so it was exciting to be there. We worked together with the non-profit program Enrich LA that has been building a farm project on the school’s campus.
We worked with 130+ students on bike tour and Markham Farm projects including; planting of a herb and vegetable garden, painting compost
signage, constructing a compost bin, and making natural body care products. It was a very busy day with lots of kids getting their hands dirty, trying new things, and expanding their knowledge of where our food comes from. Many thanks to Oscar, Yenny, and Tomas for all of
their hard work coordinating a day on the urban farm. We left at the end of the school day and
had a quick ride to a homestay with the host with the most: Rasheed. This is our second to last day of the tour!
