Ron Finley - Extraordinary People Changing the Game
Ron Finley is not your typical gardener. His garden transformed the lives of the people in his barren community called South Los Angeles. Prior his initiative, for you to get fresh produce, you should brave driving 45 minutes. So to save on gas and beautify his front lawn, he planted food. Of course, he got apprehended for that. But 900 signatures got authorities off his back. Los Angeles Green Grounds was an organization inspired by his defiance to grow his own food. Ron is now quite a famous speaker but he remains to be a humble gardener. To read more about Ron Finley visit www.thextraordinary.org
