Seeds Of Change: Growing Hope For Urban Farmers In The Bronx

Fed up with a garbage filled vacant lot in her neighborhood in the Bronx, Karen Washington started a community garden in her neighborhood. After starting several similar urban farms, she co-founded Black Urban Growers (BUGS) in 2009, an association that encourages urban African-Americans to reconnect with agriculture. The organization now works to cast aside the historical stigma that some urban African-Americans associate with farming and help them experience the empowerment that comes with growing one's own food.
