My subversive (garden) plot

Home gardens hold the power to transform food systems, public health, and community life from the ground up. Growing food at home can save families over $2,000 annually and helps address both obesity and hunger crises. With the world’s population rising and farmland, water, and oil in decline, personal gardening offers resilience where industrial agriculture often falls short. Communities that support gardens—legally, economically, and socially—can reclaim control over what they eat and how they live.
