Garden Community
Lucas Foglia has spent the last three years photographing the community around the Somerset Community Garden in Providence, RI (the garden is managed by the Southside Community Land Trust ) . His beautiful photographs not only document the garden and its role in the community, but seek to have a larger impact on the community itself.
Check out this audio slideshow to see some of his photographs, and hear him speak about the work, and the community.
Be sure to turn up the audio on your computer so you hear the soundtrack.

Beet beet beet. Turnip lettuce lettuce… Root toot toot. Rock radish rock radish. Chive chive vetch chive chive. Root root le–eeeeave/
Thanks for this Garden Community. Thanks for putting your work out there in ways that change thinking, touch lives.
You are awesome. You have roots off your feet and leaves off your head.
