“We
gotta flip the script on what a gangsta is
— if you ain't a
gardener, you ain't gangsta.”
"(...)grow
your own food. Growing
your own food is like printing your own money."
Finley’s
vision for a healthy, accessible “food forest” started with the
curbside veggie garden he planted in the strip of dirt in front of
his own house. When the city tried to shut it down, Finley’s fight
gave voice to a larger movement that
provides nourishment, empowerment, education -- and healthy, hopeful
futures -- one urban garden at a time.
