City farmer

The gardeners themselves narrate the film, giving a heartwarming and sometimes painful account of the struggle to keep their gardens alive. They tell of life on both sides of the garden fence: from their fight against drug dealers and gangs to the successes of the gardens as food suppliers to families and Senior Centers. As they tend their rows, some of these caretakers are reminded of their childhood days on farms in the South, while others, who've known only pavement under their feet, have found new directions for their futures.
