In some of San Francisco's most troubled neighborhoods urban gardening projects are doing more than beautifying blighted areas, they are planting hope by helping combat unemployment, drugs, and violence. Green Dreams documents how these gardening projects are offering real job skills and a sense of accomplishment to low-income youth, ex-convicts and people recovering from drugs. These projects are part of a growing movement to bring "at risk" city dwellers into the garden to get in touch with nature, clean up and beautify cities, and learn skills that can help them earn a living. Green Dreams looks at a variety of gardening projects and profiles some of the people they are helping. In the Alemany housing project, a former trash-filled back lot is transformed into a small farm providing organic vegetables for residents. In Hunter's Point, teens turn their lives around in an after school gardening program that offers them a sense of community and empowerment. Reviews “Green Dreams is an inspiring
film that shows people making a tangible difference in the city. An
excellent tool for any group working on gardening, environmental awareness,
or finding solutions to urban decay.” “The stories in Green
Dreams uplift and embolden, and would be useful for environmental engineering
or urban studies programs.” “This is a delightful,
informative production that provides ideas other communities could use.
Recommended for academic, public, and special libraries.” Original (Pre-Discount) Price: $79.00
