“I put a carrot in the ground and all hell broke loose” – Ron Finley
In South Los Angeles, a handful of “gangster gardeners” started something beautiful where beauty was in short supply. They planted vegetables in abandoned spaces, along curbs, and in other unused spaces. What grew out of the ground was a whole lot more than fresh produce.
