Guantanamo Bay Prisoners Plant Seeds of Hope in Secret Garden |
|
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - With their bare hands and the most basic of tools, prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have fashioned a secret garden where they have grown plants from seeds recovered from their meals.
Using water to soften soil baked hard by the Caribbean sun and then scratching away with plastic spoons, a handful of prisoners have reportedly produced sufficient earth to grow watermelon, peppers, garlic, cantaloupe and even a tiny lemon plant, no more than two inches high.

"The look on his face as he told me how they had unscrewed the mop handles and used buckets of water [to build the garden] was something wonderful." "These people have been put in such a hellish situation and yet, somehow, they have found a way to create life, literally." |
