FAMILY ROOTS

摘要

In their tiny Birmingham, Alabama, garden, they delighted in harvesting small batches of tomatoes and squash for cooking and, when the rich soil occasionally provided more than plenty, for pickling. At work, Bari was a teacher; at home, she taught herboys homespun lessons whenever and wherever she could. For Jason, such moments with his mother would help shape his own career in landscape design, which fittingly celebrates the earth's beauty and bounty. Three decades hence, he has become the teacher,sharing his knowledge of organic farming and sustainability with his mother and others, as well as his belief in vegetarianism, a lifestyle Bari since has adopted. Their garden collaboration, a verdant oasis in Montgomery, is firmly rooted in their mother-son bond.
