In the early 2000’s, a daughter of hippie homesteaders moved into Oakland’s Ghost Town neighborhood (one mile from ResOak, at 28th Ave. x MLK). She squatted an apartment and set herself to turning a vacant lot into a self-sustaining urban farm. Along the way she made friends and enemies among her neighbors, gained hard-earned lessons about land and livestock, and found care and community in beautiful, unexpected ways. What might we learn about caring for others and ourselves along these same streets? “Easily the funniest, weirdest, most perversely provocative gardening book I've ever read. I couldn't put it down . . . The writing soars.” —The New York Times Book Review.
