A rundown and empty lot,always filled with garbage and dump is in the middle of a neighbourhood where everyone is a stranger to eachother and no one seems to care.
A young Vietnames girl starts planting limabean seeds one day in the empty lot, and soon the beans come out. A neighbour is curious about what the young girl is doing there in the lot, wondering if she is doing something criminal or illegal. When the young vietnamese girl has left, the neighbour takes a look at what she digged there and is surprised when he finds seed. Soon he starts to plant seeds too and the lot is cleaned up. And more and more people in the neighbourhood are getting involved in what grows out to be a community garden. The author portrays a few of this people in the neighbourhood, all from different backgrounds and cultures, and all of them share their individual short lifestory in Seedfolks. Seedfolks is a little book and it is fun to read how all the people in it share a bond because of the communtity garden, they all feel very responsible for the garden and they get to know eachother better, wich is always nice to read!
