Kingston Henderson, 4, gets a lesson in gardening from his great- grandmother, Pauline Wheeler, 99, and his grandfather, Harris Wheeler, 70, a retired horticulture teacher with Richmond Public Schools. She shows Kingston the tender young collards and instructs him how to plant them in the rich soil tilled by his grandfather. Collards, turnip greens and onions are Mrs. Wheeler’s favorite things to grow in the winter garden behind her North Side home.
