I am a volunteer at this place, teaching kids from different schools how to garden and cook, "from seeds to table".

This is a wonderful meal for a team of circulatory and heart health.

The BEET HUMMUS is served with veggie slices and pita , and adding edible flowers from the garden brings wonderful color to the table.
