An urban garden is built by a community seeing beyond economic hardship for their future.

An urban garden called MudTown Farms is about to open in Watts, built and nurtured by dedicated residents who see more than economic hardship, social inequality and environmental racism in their future. Over a ten-day period, the series chronicles three generations of the Watkins family, as well as students, farmers, and community leaders committed to healing past social injustices.
