Grassroots Gardening: Rituals for Sustaining Activism

Rituals for Sustaining Activism | In 2003, Minister Donna Schaper wrote an op-ed for The New York Times detailing her rejection from the Coral Gables Garden Club. It seems that the ladies of the club thought shed bring inappropriate people into the club (meaning gays and blacks). Because of this piece, Minister Schaper was invited to join other clubs around the country. Minister Schaper argues that gardening is a way to sustain activism. Its a ritual for radicals urbans, nomads, and for anybody who is sufficiently angry.
