Mayor Jon Mitchell says maintaining a garden teaches the city's children valuable lessons.

Mass in Motion was presented with a $10,000 grant from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation. The garden produces cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, and other vegetables with the goal of getting children to eat healthy, natural foods as opposed to potato chips.
