Guest: Nicole Virgil Gardener & Practitioner of Christian Science
One thing we have learned from the Covid years is that our food chain has some very weak links, and that is a cause for concern for all of us who eat food for a living.
Michael Olson Food Chain Radio – Fight for the Right to Garden!
Consequent to that concern, many of the hungry have turned to growing their own food. Only a very few can grow all of their own food, but many can grow some of their own food in a garden.
Those who do garden enjoy the physical benefits of eating food they have grown, but also the spiritual benefits of growing the food.
But wait! What if City Hall prohibits the growing of food within its City limits? Sounds perfectly crazy, don’t you think. Not so, say most cities. In fact, only six states in the United States have passed legislation guaranteeing citizens the right to garden within the limits of cities.
Florida was the first such state to grant such a right in 2019. Illinois became the second such state in 2021. Those that won the right to garden in the city, lead us to ask…
Leave a comment below: Do you think it is possible for one to fight city hall for the right to garden and win?

#2 The farther we go from the source of our food, the less control we have over what’s in that food.
#3 Cheap food isn’t! READ MORE
