I built 5 veggie beds from found items on the street when they stopped picking up trash for a few months. I've been growing beans and flowers for a year now. People have started joining me and have built a concrete BBQ, added bird feeders to the trees, and occasionally donate flowers, compost, and even a bird bath. I love it.

Soramimi is a concept that a when a person hears another language, they hear words that may be something else in their language. That is what the auto captions try to do, translate the spoken English phonetics to Arabic. So that would not work.

For those who can't afford some of the supplies, find trees that drop seeds. I started with acorns. Acorns are great, native maple seeds, also take root easily. Both are easy to identify. You can even expand to crab apples. If all fails. Dandelions. They are not native but naturalized and are one of the first flowers to give native bees their first sip of nectar in the spring and a delicious green that many native animals will eat.

That was great. What a legend Hattie is. To think when she started she was in her 60s, just goes to show you're never to old to start something new.

This is my undergraduate thesis, and continuing it in my masters (and hopeful PhD) program. Green spaces are essential. Agriculture is essential. ❤🌱

It's important to give children the opportunity to plant seeds and grow plants. It connects them to nature. I experienced it myself. They become totally different people.

This reminds me of the small joke in an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air when a news reporter said "...and that one tree that grows in Brooklyn". Didn't know at the time that there was history behind that.

Imagine living in a world where gorwing plants is considered radical.

I’m volunteering at my community garden in the Bronx and learning the history and the people behind it makes me appreciate it even more 😁😁 thanks Vox!

I don't even live in NY but this made me emotional, these days people are so disconnected from one another, there is no community nor any awareness for public betterment. It almost feels like no cares for others anymore, living in their enclosed bubble of security with a wi-fi connection reaching across the globe with no actual touch.

As someone living in a hot city with little amount of green space, whenever I sit in a park it makes me know how important green spaces are to urban ppl. Appreciate the work of these two ladies in the video.

“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” some say this is quoted from 19th century poet Emerson, while some say it originated from a Native American proverb. Regardless, this wisdom always stands true. The green spaces that we build will outlive us all and serve the generations to come. Provided that we continue to nurture these spaces, and we don't demolish them for one reason or another 💚

I am so happy to see this and I am even not living in New York.

There is also a lot of roof space to be used for growing healthy vegetables.

The clip of the kids volunteering to plant trees in their neighborhood made me emotional, such a great way to make your environment your own!

I was very honored to be a small part of this movement as a squatter and periodically a garden activist on the Lower East Side from 1988 to 1998. The community bonding around these rich spaces was profound and transformational. Lovely video. At one point after Guilliani wanted to auction them off, Bette Midler stepped in with her conservation foundation to save some of the gardens from development, including I think La Plaza Cultural on E. 9th & C. Thank you for making and posting this wonderful video.

This is what happens when you place nature before greed

I’m growing in pots a couple of herbs, cherry tomatoes and flowers. On my patio in Queens, NYC. I can’t tell you how happy they make me ♥️

Watching those pure acts of kindness made me literally cry, it's so beautiful, altruistic and sweet. Humanity restored!

The almost brought me to tears. I have friends that live in the Prospect Park area and immediately sent this to them. Seeing women lead change for their communities and have it last is amazing.

When people do this they need to take in to account three things. use trees that have roots that grow deeps instead of sideways or they may destroy sidewalks. Use native trees. And don´t use fruit trees, pollution will just make the fruit disgusting and no one will eat it, so they just fall to the ground and rot.

This video is bringing back my faith in humanity, maybe it won't be the end of the world.

I haven’t even watched this but I love the term “radical gardeners”

Incredible story, I feel so moved by what these women did for their communities!

Congratulations to Vox, Ranjani Chakraborty and to the amazing team of Missing Chapters. I always look forward to new episodes. Keep up the great work, and see you next season.

this was probably the most light hearted episode of missing chapter

How fantastic! Every city would be blessed to have such caring people.

Beautiful story. Learning to garden with my husband has brought us closer together. It's quality time working out problems and enjoying the results.

Ok maybe I cried a little when she saved the 100 year old tree and turn the buildings into a teaching center

It’s something you would expect to read in a novel. Glad this story is real history!

4:46 Wasn’t there an episode of Hey Arnold! about this? Where they had to save a huge tree that was gonna be cut down that was like 100 years old in the middle of the city. I would imagine the writers drew inspiration from these real life events.

Did not expect for this video to make me cry (more than once), but I'm so glad it did.

Unbelievably beautiful things created out of the ugliness and cruelty of redlining. Fabulous!!!

“Radical Gardening” two words you don’t think can come together.

PvZ in a nutshell

Don loggins; dude was practically born to love nature.

Don't know how, but every time they research something new and I'm already hooked with them throughout the video. Nice work, Vox Team.

Having grown up in NY, I wish I had learned about her sooner! Super inspiring.

I love this, it's so inspiring 💖💖

There is always someone who doesn't accept the norm and starts a revolution...which becomes a way of evolution ❤️

Made me cry, a good cry because that women and those who listened to her, were so wonderful.

what an insanely good piece. I've never been to NYC in my life but I suddenly feel this connection to a bunch of random gardens there
