Seth Anderson takes the newspaper into what’s called a walipini (meaning ‘place of warmth’ in the Aymara language of an indigenous Bolivian tribe), or an underground greenhouse. The temperature inside of the walipini is almost 20 degrees higher (and more humid) than outside. The underground greenhouse lets you grow year-round. Photos by Jake Hibbitts

Pumpkins like these are found throughout the community garden.
