Investigative story published in American Word Magazine’s Fall 2016 print issue
The ideal community garden/farm scenario is two strangers working together to not only grow vegetables but also cultivate a sense of community. D.C.’s 34 community gardens and five urban farms do more than develop meaningful relationships between neighbors. They are beds of environmental education, provide nutritious food unavailable to residents in some neighborhoods and add natural green spaces to the city. But they can also be sources of tension and dividing forces within neighborhoods.
