Refugee farmers wheel giant cabbage to market in Anchorage

Refugee gardeners with Fresh International Gardens paraded from Bunn Street to their stand at Northway Mall Wednesday Market with a 30-pound cabbage and a 24-pound cabbage midday Wednesday in Northeast Anchorage. The group was celebrating the summer harvest and the approaching end of the outdoor market season. They also paid tribute to Julie Riley, horticulturalist with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service, who has worked with the garden since 2007 but is being transferred to Fairbanks.
