Kim planted the beans that would start the garden on the day of her father’s death anniversary. She never knew her father, because she was born after his death. All she knew was that he was a farmer. Kim wanted to feel more attached to her father, which led to her planting the seeds. These seeds were the foundation of a wonderful thing. On the day of her father’s death anniversary, Kim wanted to feel more attached to him. She wanted to do this because the only thing she knew about him was that he was a farmer. Kim took the lima bean seeds, and planted them in the empty lot, to try and be like her father. Kim looked after these seeds carefully, because she felt as if it was her only connection to him. The plating of these seeds led to the wonderful garden of Cleveland, Ohio. Kim started the garden unknowingly. Her planting of the beans led to a series of chain reactions. One of the people of Gibb Street thought Kim was doing something illegal. She then went down to dig up Kim’s beans, thinking it was drugs or a gun. She was wrong, and replanted the seeds knowing her mistake. She then directed someone else on Gibb Street to water the withering plants, on a later date. This led to other people planting in that very lot. If it weren’t for Kim, and waning to connect to her father, there would never have been a Gibb Street garden.
