#AndrewsHighSchoolEC garden needed tomato plant trimming yesterday. I added some cayenne pepper to (hope and pray) deter the herd of produce bloated geese from continuing their tour of destruction. Thankfully these lovelies have thick skin, no match for even the most determined of goose beak. Greg Desern and I will be using our saved seeds for lessons this fall, AND more cantaloupes next year. #ourstate #ournc #ourstatemag #bees #garden #schoolgarden #redfored #pollinators #highpoint #goodness #gangstergardener #ronfinley #triadlocalfirst #school #backtoschool #positivevibes #nutrition #teaching #love #gardenlove #loveourstudents (at Andrews High School EC)

“As Africans, we have a history of working with and respecting Mother Earth. We have a legacy of slavery and for a great part of enslavement we were in the fields, working with the soil, so a lot of people have a negative view of this and want to move away from that part of history. I’m trying to go back to that by being a gardener. My biggest catalyst has been the fact that I had to literally go out of my community of South Central Los Angeles to get any kind of healthy food. From Chicago to Philadelphia to New Orleans and back, there are “food prisons.” I don’t just call them “food deserts,” they are prisons because you have to escape to find anything healthy.Therefore, gardening has been my tool to change the world. It’s been my meditation. It’s been my salvation. It’s been my solace. Gardening is a metaphor for life. Gardening is the gateway. This garden has literally taken me around the world speaking to thousands just by me putting a seed in the soil. What we need to realize is that life is in the soil. Our health is in that soil so we've got to change our perspective; this is where the gold is. Growing your own food is like printing your own money!I planted my garden on the street to show people you can grow your own food. You can do it right here. You have this space. Plant on your parkways. I have Valencia oranges, tangerines, pomegranates, banana trees. Yes, I literally have banana trees on my parkway. With The Ron Finley Project, I am working to create an urban garden oasis, which I call “HQ.” It will house a sprawling community space including a garden, market and café, accessible to all. My intention is for it to become a hub in South LA for empowering the community to take back their health and to nourish and uplift this food dessert.“ - The “Gangster Gardener” OG Ron Finley

A trip to LA for lunch, turned into a tour of the famous street side garden of Ron Finley. This is a shot of RayRay taking a photo. It is amazing what kind of effect a garden can have in such an infamous neighborhood. The concept if a public easement garden is so inspiring we are taking it back to our "food desert" in Oildale Ca.
