Wow I read this article and it was so uplifting. I imagined beautiful vegetable and herb gardens growing all of the cities of the country. gardening takes a certain type of person like the saying “greenthumb” and I think that its a talent. Though out of necessity as the times we live in have created an uprise in honing this craft and ability in those, like myself who never thought of themselves as having a greethumb. It no longer becomes a hobby for those that enjoy the energy and fulfillment of growing their own gardens but of a desire to change our accessibility to healthy foods. If we all started to do this greenthumbs helping us brownthumbs along the way, we could start spreading the healthy food source to everyone in larger cities where there isn’t room to grow huge gardens in the fields like in rural places; but instead must find innovative ways to create a healthy lifestyle in places that before have been thought of as cement jungles.I found this article on natural news and am posting it here for reference. Is this the wave of the future? gardens sprouting up everywhere to help feed healthy food to the masses? If so, it would be a hopeful one.
