‘Plants keep our souls alive,’ says Anuella Alexandre, Founder of A Green Community and one of the ‘plant influencers,’ working to keep local schools and businesses green. Roderick Johnson, the founder of Revolutionary Garden, says society is in a “food war,” battling against the chemicals and pesticides that taint our food. The mini biome, their wood-built world of organic greenery, serves as an “emotional support system” and “therapeutic learning environment” for the children, says Anuella Alexandre, who helped bring the garden to the school.
