urban gardening

There's a group called The Greening of Detroit that supports dozens of urban truck gardens all over the city. One of these gardens is at Hannan House where I've been photographing the elders since mid-June. You should see their harvest now! On Wednesday they gave me one of the cucumbers picked from this vine and it was delicious. They also harvested tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, lettuce, basil, collard greens, kale, swiss shard, broccoli and green beans. And there's more to come...

not lots to add to other comments, but beautiful light, exposure and composition.

Some seeds and a few hands full of soil and nature will do the rest in the most "unusual' of places. A lovely story, one of hope and aspiration.
