A great article in the la times about the roots of Japanese American gardners. It talks about their historical significance in Los Angeles, and how because they weren't allowed to own land they were attracted to the gardening business.

I really liked one man's comment on the importance of gardening to promote harmony and peace in our lives. Read it.
