Community Services Unlimited: Rocking LA with Food and Beauty

04:11 | Ryanne Hodson | Dec 6th, 2007 2:50pm |

We first met the Community Services Unlimited folks at the Just Us For Food Justice Bioneers day. They told us we should come check out their work in community gardening in South Central LA. How could we not? These folks are on the front lines of urban gardening in an LA neighborhood most famous for violence. The work they have done, transforming empty lots and street abutting school yards into luscious, cornucopias of food and beauty is awe inspiring. They hold weekly workshops at each garden site to get folks involved and to taste goodies from the garden as well as local farmers’ wares. In an area of town where the only food resources are liquor stores and fast food joints, CSU is a welcome addition empowering residents to grow their own and take action for food justice.
