Tampa, Florida  -  The garden at Academy Prep of Tampa received a helping hand from students at the University of Tampa,  there to honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King.

The volunteers worked next to Academy Prep fifth graders, laying down mulch and mixing potting soil into the garden beds.

In May, there will be a luncheon at the school so everyone can enjoy all the fresh vegetables planted. 

The annual tradition had 85 students working in four bay area locations, cleaning up and helping give back to their community.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is organized by the PEACE (People Exploring Active Community Experiences) Volunteer Center.
