A Visit to The Garden Project from Jennifer Smith-Mayo on Vimeo.

In the summer 2007, I received a photo assignment from Down East Magazine to cover a story about students in the Garden Project at the Troy Howard Middle School in Belfast, Maine [see DEM, March 2009]. What began as a regular assignment quickly developed into a longer, more involved project. I spent nearly two years photographing the students, teachers, and Garden. During the summer 2008, I also collected audio interviews with some of the students and teachers. To accompany the photo assignment, DEM commissioned me to produce a multimedia project, this video, “A Visit to The Garden Project.”
