'The strength of this book lies [...] in its scholarship about the historical development of community gardens... Recommended.' Choice 'From the Ground Up is a well-researched investigation of a topic that, until now, has received mostly article-length treatment: the politics of community gardens in New York City. This in-depth study provides much more detail into the personal, communal, and urban politics of the community garden movement in New York than has previously been available, and is therefore a welcome addition to scholarly knowledge on the subject. ... The book is a useful resource for teaching on urban politics, and for researchers interested in the various politics of community gardens.' Journal of Regional Science 'From the Ground Up is a rich book full of illustrative insights into the world of community gardening in New York City'. Geography Research Forum ’From the Ground Up makes an important contribution to our understanding of the reasons for, and the importance of; the community gardening movement in New York City ... and the valuable role the movement plays in promoting citizen participation and political development in a diverse metropolitan area. It is recommended reading for scholars interested in both community gardening and community development'. Marie Howland,University of Maryland, College Park, MD
