First Christian Church of Oakland

The Garden is a 2008 documentary film directed by Scott Hamilton Kennedy. It tells the story of the now demolished South Central Farm, a community garden and urban farm located in the

aftermath of the 1992 L.A. riots.Something truly remarkable happened at the intersection of 41st Street and Alameda Avenue thanks to an

uncharacteristically charitable move by the city government.Where there once existed a barren field littered with garbage and syringes suddenly appeared a 14-acre

community garden.

After the movie, Urban Farmer Brent Walker will speak about People's Grocery, a community-based organization in West Oakland that develops creative solutions to the health problems in our community that stem from a lack

of access to and knowledge about healthy, fresh foods. Their mission is to build a local food system that improves the health and economy of the West Oakland community.
