Gardening has blossomed during the 19-COVID pandemic. planted as Americans first “victory” gardens during the wars and depression, now many seeds of plants are growing their own food. This is so with real benefits such as stress reduction, exercise and reduced risk for many diseases as a result of more vegetables. In a recent series of time for health Talk, Ron Finley, an urban gardener in Los Angeles as “Gangsta Gardener” known and Quest Love, musicians and food, talked about how gardening and healthy food supplies can also build a community . Faced with a decade Finley turned the strip unused city land properties in front of his home in South Central, Los Angeles in an edible garden for his community. Well, it’s such a popular place that people to help him swing plant and others eat its succulent figs straight from the tree. The point is to bring people together and to give everyone access to fresh organic food. “If we grow together, grow together,” he says. “That’s what the churches do.” Too many neighborhoods in the United States has no shops or restaurants, not to mention community gardens that offer fresh, healthy and cheap food. “Where I grew up, there was no type of health options,” says Quest Love, who is from West Philadelphia. “I see this as a state of emergency. I feel almost like an invisible war on a community that does not even know.” Finley now teaches people around the world Quest Love among his pupils garden through its popular Master Class and Finley Project Ron. “The earth is my protest to all these injustices that we are dealing, have dealt with the founding of this country,” says Finley. Here’s what Finley wants you to know if you are new to gardening: Do not be afraid. Newbies are not alone. “There are people who have never touched the ground … in their lives because they were not close to her,” says Finley. When children are in kindergarten classrooms, so can you. “It ‘peaceful, is water, and it is a seed and some fresh air,” says Finley. “How hard could it be?” No need to start the East. Lettuce, green leafy vegetables and cabbage are all easy to grow without a lot of space, Finley says. You do not even need a plan. “If there can be some ground if they are in possession of a wooden box is, if you put the shoe box, a bit ‘of land in it, put a seed in it, and start your garden.” It’s important. “Knowing how the food to grow at a skill,” says Finley. “It ‘promotion in our DNA, and we should use this DNA. This is something no one can ever take from you.” Far from being a frivolous hobby, you can make your own food increases your life and changes the lives of those around you. “What I now know that is bringing humanity to the people.”
