You got to save yourself, and that philosophy is where I started growing.
What if planting a garden could transform an entire community? Ron Finley, known as the 'Gangsta Gardener', took this idea to heart when he saw the lack of healthy food options in his LA neighborhood. Instead of just talking about the problem, he grabbed a shovel and started digging. This episode of Unwasted: The Podcast dives into Ron's journey from frustrated resident to community hero.
He shares the highs and lows of running a community garden and offers practical tips for anyone looking to make a difference where they live. Ron's story isn't just about gardening; it's about reclaiming urban spaces and reshaping them to serve the people who live there. His insights on urban design and its impact on our lives are both eye-opening and inspiring.
If you're curious about how you can start your own community garden or want to understand the broader social implications of urban agriculture, this episode is a must-listen. Plus, Ron's candid approach and infectious enthusiasm make for an engaging and motivational listen. Tune in to hear how one man’s vision for a greener, healthier community is sparking real change.
