Somerville member Aviva Asher displays the results of a two-day maple
syrup "boil down" at the Somerville Community Growing Center March 14.
On Friday, two hundred students came to watch the process unfold and
help collect sap from one of the center's trees.

The 80 gallons of sap collected, which came mostly from trees at Tufts University, yielded two gallons of syrup.
