Alex Hatch: Cracks in the Asphalt' May 14, 2009

'Cracks in the Asphalt' is a one-of-a-kind guide book to 30 of San Francisco's Community Gardens. One important aspect of the book is to let readers know that these gardens were born out of the hard work of each group of neighborhood activists whose role was to not only create a garden where there was a dumping ground, but to create a sense of community as well. Because of this the gardens are situated over looking freeways, in downtown areas, in out of the way corners and busy neighborhoods.
