The voices represented here are fresh, they are passionate, they are incredibly committed, and they are part of a movement that is healing our world one handful of seeds, one bucket of compost, one garden, one meal at a time. In a time when the majority of the world's people live in cities, Growing a Garden City provides us with an inspiring, hopeful, and essential model." --Michael Ableman, farmer, founder of The Center for Urban Agriculture, and author of "Fields of Plenty"
