“I am an artist. Gardening is my graffiti. A graffiti artist beautifies walls; I beautify parkways and yards. I treat the garden as a piece of cloth and the plants and the trees are the embellishment of that cloth. You’d be surprised what soil can do if you let it be your canvas.”

Ron Finley at TED2013 (2013)

“Growing your own food is like printing your own money.”

Ron Finley at TED2013 (2013)

“Gardening is the most therapeutic and defiant act you can do, especially in the inner city, you get strawberries.”

Ron Finley at TED2013 (2013)
