Help for Toledo Urban Gardener
Donation protected
Thomas Jackson is a community gardener in Toledo, Ohio who has recently come up against some obstacles in his way of his dream for an urban gardening movement in his community. He purchased vacant lots through Toledo's land bank if vacant urban lot and began the work of remediating the contaminated soil and building natural fences in hopes that in the future he would have healthy soil to being gardens for his community to educate and provide them with healthy and organic produce. Recently, he has been challenged with oposition not from his community, but a few members of city council who believe what he is doing is a nuisance. So now not only is he facing legal fees but also losing contracts within the city for his landscaping business. He is a giving and faithful man who would never ask for help but has always given when it is asked of him.
