Surviving Detroit 12
Edith Floyd spreads seeds on a raised bed in her garden. Growing Joy garden was created by Edith Floyd, a retired school employee in Detroit on a series of empty lots near her house. Last year she bought a tractor and she plans to expend her garden on the lots across the street. There are only a handful of houses left standing on her block in northeast Detroit. April 22, 2010.
