Los Angeles' "guerrilla gardener"

A special tour was arranged for Mr. Ron Finley of Los Angeles, who garnered national attention when he gave a TED talk about his efforts to promote healthy eating and urban farming in south central Los Angeles. From Wikipedia-- " Finley is also known as a proponent of healthy eating and gardening. He is co-founder of LAGREENGROUNDS.ORG, a company that plants gardens at low-income homes in the Los Angeles area as a part of a recovery system to transform neighborhoods. In early 2013, he gave a TED talk on his progress as a "guerrilla gardener," the dangers of food deserts, and the potential for his program to improve quality of life. He said in the talk, "If kids grow kale, kids eat kale; if they grow tomatoes, they eat tomatoes." The program has had modest success in persuading city officials to cooperate, but remains officially illegal under city code."
