June 28, 2016 globallocavore 15 Comments

During an urban agriculture tour, I share the transformative power of urban agriculture which includes transforming derelict lots into vibrant community spaces, growing fresh produce at low cost & bring nature back to cities

Everywhere I look I see gardens overflowing with life. As I walk the grounds, I encounter raised beds brimming with leafy greens. I follow the trail of pea shoots and zucchini vines as they climb out of tubs and crawl along the side of buildings. I peer into milk crates and … [Read more...]
