Ron Finley: A guerilla gardener in South Central LA [View all]

Los Angeles Anti-Eviction Campaign and Unfuck The World shared a link.

http://www.ted.com/talks/ron_finley_a_guerilla_gardener_in_south_central_la.html

Ron Finley plants vegetable gardens in South Central LA -- in abandoned lots, traffic medians, along the curbs. Why? For fun, for defiance, for beauty and to offer some alternative to fast food in a community where "the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys."

TED talk video at the link.
