Call it Pizza Party Prep. Teens from a Milwaukee area high school designed and built a raised garden bed at their school in the shape of a pizza, and now these teens are filling their bed with the perfect pizza plants: tomatoes, peppers, basil and oregano. They’re trying to tackle hunger, obesity and the school’s science curriculum one slice, er plant, at a time.

“There’s a whole lot of gardening going on in the Milwaukee area,” reports Karen Herzog of the Journal Sentinel, “from families planting vegetable plots along the bike path through Riverside Park near the Urban Ecology Center, to school kids replacing grass with food in schoolyards.”
