VIDEO STORY: Innovative Gardening | Growing Sweet Potatoes in Tires

Members of the Antigua and Barbuda Association of People with Disabilities demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination by harvesting over 100 pounds of sweet potatoes, a bounty that was later distributed among their community members.

In an inspiring display of ingenuity, these dedicated individuals cultivated the potatoes in upcycled tires, transforming them into flourishing gardens.

This innovative approach not only highlighted their commitment to self-sufficiency but also showcased their ability to thrive despite challenges.
