One of our staff members is into growing plants. She is leaving this year and selling her favourites. This is an example of her green thumb. Another staffer bought these plants for his house. They are a type of orchid. The price of the plant was determined by the number of blooms. The plant made it to safety just before the afternoon soccer game started.

The multi purpose wheel barrow - comes in various conditions carrying the wares of the vendors. A scene like this would be found in the Ravine as well as the main streets of the city. Many men with wheelbarrow are positioned outside of grocery stores in hope that people will hire them to wheel their purchases home for a nominal fee.
