Part biography, part paean to urban gardens and gardeners everywhere. That’s part of what makes Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table such a rarity. Average extraordinary people tend to be lumped in group biographies if anywhere at all. I can tell you right off that finding biographies of contemporary people who don’t fall into the worlds of sports, entertainment, or politics is a fool’s errand. And after a while your eyes kind of droop and you feel a bit sleepy, so you tell yourself you’ll continue to search on another day. You walk to a biography section of a children’s room, any children’s room, and you start searching for biographies of living people who are not sports stars, actors, musicians or politicians.
