Chieko, a Japanese transplant, studies engineering at City College. On Saturdays during the summer you can find Chieko on the Farm, seeding, harvesting, weeding, setting up, and breaking down our “set”. Chieko reminds us of the quote “work is love made visible” (Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet).
Barbra is a social worker, who works with teenagers as her day job. She dedicates herself to connecting the “can–do” wires in kids of all ages on many Sundays, when visitors flock to the Compost Learning Center. These 2 buds are 2 glorious blooms in our bouquet of special friends.
