In big cities and small towns across the nation, people are turning to their gardens to sow seeds of hope, nourishment, and unification--not only for themselves but for friends, and even the strangers around them. This book acquaints us with the remarkable stories of everyday people, weekend gardeners, and perennial green-thumbs as they make the world around them a little better. From gardening for the elderly to rehabilitating juvenile offenders, from saving kids in a group home to urban community gardening, the true stories in this inspirational collection remind us that, through simply reaching out, sifting earth between our fingers, and extending our time and generous intent, we can effect change that may start small but eventually ripples far beyond our back doors.
