Description
This book, rich with colorful photographs and vivid case studies, takes you to inspiring urban greening projects across the nation. Though the settings and social issues at the project sites vary, they have one thing in common: urban greening was used as a catalyst to improve living conditions. Some participants grew gardens to teach nutrition and help residents become more self-sufficient. Others cleared dump sites and beautified neglected areas to eliminate crime and bring color and hope to violent neighborhoods. Dr. Carroll’s insightful narrative about each site describes the challenges that leaders and participants face as well as successes they celebrate. Anyone who loves plants and is committed to social change will find a plethora of ideas about how to plant hope in any soil, in any neighborhood.
