Summary note
The fourteen-acre community garden at 41st and Alameda in South Central Los Angeles is the largest of its kind in the United States. Started as a form of healing after the devastating L.A. riots in 1992, the South Central Farmers have since created a miracle in one of the country's most blighted neighborhoods: growing their own; food; feeding their families; creating a community. But now, bulldozers are poised to level their 14-acre oasis.
