- Ron Finley challenged authority in Los Angeles, California by planting a garden on a strip of land adjacent to a parkway. Now he promotes gardening as a way to help kids in low-income neighborhoods. Finley spoke to attendees at the ULI 2013 Fall Meeting in Chicago, Illinois
As a teacher I know this is true. Students look at vegetables and more so fruits 🍉 🍌 🍎 like it’s a foreign object, but then they’ll ask me how it grows and eventually they want to eat it. This so admire this Gardner, and he is right. I go out to work in the garden and four hours later my stomach is growling because I forgot to eat. In Germany (lived there six years) every citizen must have a garden, so there are plots of land right outside the cities for each family to organically maintain. That is where I developed my love 😍 for gardening. I thank the Germans everyday for it. Schools need this.❤️👍🏼👏🏽🌱🎋🍄🦔🌾🌻💐
I´m doing this in Mexico. The big difference is that the city government of Saltillo, in this "developing" country, has supported my work from the start! !Gracias!
🤩🤩🤩

This should be "common core". Teaching kids how to grow food, and make their own breads, and such.
#AGREED!
I ❤️ the “Gangsta Gardner”!!!!
Thank You for all you do
Hero’s walk among us
Ron You are one of them
I hope Mr. Finely can continue to endurance and encourage other communities to do the same thing. He is an Positive roll model
I feel you on this "Gardening is my Graf, but I can eat it" Inspirational man. Thanks for everything you do.
WHERE'S THE VIEWS?
THIS MAN IS A STREET HERO!💞
The man is on to something great!!!! Go for it, change the world, save lives, & use what God has provided for us!!!
This video is seven years old and it is more applicable now than even then. Great work.
Simple living and high thinking. The plain and powerful truth. Take of your food and you take charge of your destiny and your life. You are right. This is the root of the solution to a healthy life and community.
Teach and lead the way. Would like to support this effort. Contact info?
a fantastic role model to all men
Amen!!!! Why did this not spark a revolution!!🤩🥰
Big ups to you brother. I love the message you are conveying..
that's one smart man
I’m in the UK. I’ve just discovered these vlogs. I just think you are such an inspiration.
Same.
Beautiful soul.
what disturbed me about my garden many years ago was that l was incuraged to grow flowers but not vegetables for me l starved and had no vegetables in my garden "the garden was there when l got there. You said all that you have clearly and no one could be blind to this after listening to you. Thank you for all you done
Let thy food be thy medicine! Flower for you to look at but not food to feed your body??? As Mike Tyson would say "that's ludicrous"!
Plant some
sh__t 🌱❤
Love your movement Ron! These movements came around after the depression for different reasons in a sense. We have to keep the movement growing. Marketing is the huge problem
Community based on gardening is the solution to moral, family, and societal fragmentation.

“My garden is my street art!”
And policy change!?! That is praxis and fulfilling the lesson of the three sisters!
Aho!

Happiness is also a technology. It's how language and symbols influence the brain and our decision-making. So is unhappiness. Let's tend to our garden, friends.
I HAVE A GARDEN AND I GROW MY FOOD
Don't eat me 🥺
Vegan Rican1 you mean you’re a vegan that doesn’t want us to eat veggies?🤔
@@juliavanrun-kilic1744 How did you get that from my comment?
Ha ha that white guy is trying to figure out the gangster. You are one cool guy Ron.
its not about whos the black guy, its about who are you?
Love his energy, however, he's got to watch himself. The power that be will see him as a Threat, and we should know what that means. He's a target for death as the Doctors who have been murdered due to their choice to educate about the poisoning of medications.
don't relate to this video
Lashorna Washington then you’re not hungry, malnourished or awake....yet.... You might well get inspired by some other passion though? We’re not all made for the same stuff...what do YOU do to make this a better world? Ask yourself....especially now during Covid-lockdown...🤔🙃
It's actually a good thing to listen to people and learn about things outside of your wheelhouse.
okay lashorna
