“I’m the daughter of a farmer. I live across the road from here now.” …
“My mother brought seeds. She brought her cucumber seeds from Iran, on the plane!”
“The plants let me remember my home. Development and industry came in and removed our garden at home. (Before that) the whole family would garden for food.”
“Back home I planted tomatoes, wheat, potatoes. This plot is so little I can’t grow any of those. But I don’t care. I’m so grateful to come.”
