Really, does a #vegetable plant get any prettier than an #okra #plant? Love it or hate it, it sure looks promising. #garden #nycfoodscape #communitygardens #deepsummer #urbanag #nyc (at Campos Community Garden)

At on time my community garden was overrun with hollyhocks. Someone at some point had bought a package of seeds and in the coming years they reseeded themselves everywhere. They were tall and multicolored and the garden took on a vey Dr. Seuss quality. Few remain, this one is peaking right now. . . #hollyhock #pink #dspink #communitygardens #mallow #drseuss (at 6/15 Green)

Terrance grows long rows of crops for food and seed saving at La Mott Community Garden, in Cheltenham Township, just a few blocks northwest of Philadelphia. For more than 80 years community gardeners have been lovingly tending to this land where black soldiers had been trained for the Civil War, and where Harriett Tubman would stop at Lucretia Mott's home on her courageous and visionary trips bringing black families to freedom on the Underground Railroad. The garden had been owned by Temple University for many years, and was recently sold to a new owner, and so the garden's future is uncertain. Terrence brought his extra sweet potato slips (they look like Maple Leaf!), lima bean seeds, and string bean seeds to the Philadelphia Seed Exchange library seed swap last night, which followed the Vacant Land 215 workshop led by Kirtrina Baxter of Soil Generation and Garden Justice Legal Initiative. Hopefully we will all work together to find justice for this land and the gardeners and community members who care for it! #gardenjustice #lamottcommunitygarden #lamott #harriettubman #lucretiamott #seedkeeping #seedsaving #sweetpotatoslips #soilgeneration #philadelphiaseedexchange #communitygarden #communitygardens (at Oak Lane Branch - Free Library of Philadelphia)
