STORY: Community Garden Re-Union
This story highlights the Community Garden project in South Minneapolis and people who made a difference in the lives of others in their community. Twin Cities Public Television first covered this Community Garden in the mid-1990s. Now, more than a decade later, we reunite with people in their old
neighborhood
and listen to their stories. These are stories of people touching each others' lives through work and fun in the garden, and how those experiences spread to other parts of their lives.
