    Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to East Oakland, California, to visit the legendary plant nursery Planting Justice, which primarily hires formerly incarcerated people. They provide a fair wage and benefits to former prisoners with unbelievable results: a 2% recidivism rate, compared to 60% for the State of California.

    The nursery itself has an incredible diversity of edible and useful plant species and varieties, custom selected to grow an epic permaculture garden.
