Caption:

Photographed around the campus of one of the many metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia primary schools, these young school children were watering, and caring for some newly planted flowers and vegetables in a school sponsored garden, lovingly tending to this small plot of earth. In the foreground, you can see an Asian-American girl, crouched down in the process of packing some of the loose earth around a newly planted purple petunia. This type of interaction with the outdoors provided these young students with time in the fresh air, and exercise for their growing bodies, burning off unwanted calories, and energy accumulated sitting in the classroom.
