Here’s two wonderful vids about the great “Gangsta Gardener” Ron Finley which really inspired us today. It’s been a while since we’ve featured him here but if you remember Ron was fed up with the lack of fresh edibles in his neighbourhood in South LA (he had to travel some way away just to get some organic tomatoes) he planted some veg in the empty bed outside his house. Rather than being chuffed that someone cared for where they lived, the local council nicked him for “gardening without a permit” (how bonkers is that?). This spurred him onto starting food growing projects and getting people in the local community into the food growing bug. More about Ron’s great exploits at his website here. There’s a bit of eff-ing and geoff-ing in the vids but don’t let put you off from Ron’s great gardening message!
A good few years ago Ron very kindly sent us a nice gardening 5. I know it was some years ago but it’s a great selection. Have a look here.
Big shout to “The Gangsta Gardener”
