Caring, Motivated, and Determined
Leona is brought to the garden in "Seedfolks" because she wants to fulfill her husband's wish of planting a garden after he passes away. She hopes that by tending to the garden, she will feel connected to him and find a sense of purpose and healing.
Leona plants goldenrod, a type of herb. She plants it because her Granny swore it cured every disease and used to make her Goldenrod tea. In honor of her Granny she planted the Goldenrod.
Leona made herself real to city officials in the book "Seedfolks" by actively participating in the community garden project and demonstrating her dedication to improving the neighborhood. By working alongside other residents to transform a vacant lot into a thriving garden, Leona showed her commitment to creating positive change and building a sense of community. Her actions and contributions helped city officials see her as a valued member of the neighborhood with a genuine desire to make a difference.
Seedfolks was created in 1997.
