I think Kim is a very important character, probably the most important. She is the one who started the garden-without even knowing. Just by doing a little thing for herself, in the end it helped a lot of people. She only thought she planted lima beans in a dirty lot, but it was something much greater, the start of the Gibb street garden. The morning she planted the beans, was the morning of her father’s death anniversary. To Kim, it felt like she never really knew her father, because he died before she was born. Kim thinks it’s her responsibility to grow the beans because her father grew vegetables in Vietnam. That’s how Kim started the Gibb street garden. When people hear about it, the garden grows faster. The garden brings together people of all kinds. The presence of the garden made the neighborhood better.
