The Garden background

The Garden

In the aftermath of the L.A. riots, a thriving 14-acre community garden emerged, becoming the largest of its kind in the US. However, its existence is now under threat from the looming presence of bulldozers.

The largest community garden in the US, spanning 14 acres in South Central Los Angeles, was established as a form of healing after the 1992 L.A. riots. Since then, the South Central Farmers have created a thriving oasis, growing their own food, feeding their families, and building a community. However, bulldozers now threaten this urban haven, as the City of Los Angeles and a powerful developer seek to evict the farmers and construct warehouses.
