Gardening at the Margins

"Gardening at the Margins" explores how a diverse community in California's Santa Clara Valley works together to grow food and foster a sense of community amidst economic and environmental challenges. Through ethnographic research, the book highlights acts of care and resistance as residents cultivate not only gardens but also alternative futures, preserving traditional knowledge and building resilience in the face of climate change and urban migration. It sheds light on how these individuals create spaces of autonomy to sustain agroecological practices and cultural roots in an evolving world.
