Who Makes Things Grow?

Who Makes Things Grow by John Lewis is located on the exterior of the ShopRite of Oregon Avenue grocery store in the South Philadelphia neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The mural was designed to showcase where some of the food that can be found on grocery store shelves comes from people and their labor as opposed to just appearing in front of you as it can sometimes seem. From planting to harvesting the mural makes sure viewers understand that there were other hands involved in the growing of food. Those hands sometimes look like our own and other times they do not, but in the end as in the mural we all sit at the same table to eat.
