"That sunflower looks like a smiley face," 4-year-old Haven Thompson cheerfully declared. Dwarfed by the plant, Haven leaned back and took another look at it. "It's really pretty," she added before running off to begin watering a giant eggplant growing in a soil bed.
Every Thursday at 6 p.m., Haven is joined by 15 to 20 other neighborhood children outside the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center on Centre Avenue for an hour of gardening and nature-related activities.
