Ron Finley does what every citizen does when they own property - maintain it. Thinking he was being an upright resident of Los Angeles, Finley decided one day he would plant a garden on the sidewalk in front of his home.
Obviously this action upset the city and he had to go back and forth to court. A year later, Finley won his case and started an organization in South Central Los Angeles growing gardens in anything from abandoned lots, traffic meridians and street curbs.
Watch the
video below with Ron giving his speech on why gardening education is important where he is from.
