"This book demonstrates what can happen when a diverse group of people come together around the simple act of growing food. 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"

We've never needed it more badly, or wanted it as much!" --Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org and author of "Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future," from the foreword to "Growing a Garden City"
