Cultivating Common Ground features the stories of eleven senior citizen
community gardeners from Wilmore, an inner-city Charlotte neighborhood.
During the course of a year, nine Wilmore teenagers worked to gather and
document the oral histories and garden wisdom of their elders. The teens
worked in the garden, conducted interviews and took pictures of the seniors
at home and in the garden. This book is their shared harvest - a bumper
crop of unforgettable tales about growing up in the Charlotte Piedmont,
along with priceless nuggets of garden know-how and delicious recipes for
garden fresh vegetables. A special resource section lists organizations
helpful to those interested in organizing similar projects.
