The article is explaining how much these gardens have impacted those living in and around this area. Historically, these gardens have brought in most of the agriculture and the necessities of Detroiters. This has led to mayors asking to convert empty parking spaces into community gardens which would cause the amount of production to increase and benefit more civilians. These gardens has also led to many organizations wanting to increase the amount of gardens because it would give more access to nutritious based foods.  The reason why I chose this article was because of food injustices\/insecurities especially in the Metro- Detroit area. There are more liquor and convenient stores than whole food markets. Everywhere you go, you see McDonald&#8217;s and other fast food chain restaurants, but one has to go way out of their way to find a grocery store or a market. This article shows the initiative that Detroit continues to make to improve their city and the people within in. It shows that they are not staying comfortable and are instead wanting to make a change in the lives of those in this city. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This link was discussing one of Detroit&#8217;s many urban gardens.
