In my opinion Kim started the garden. Plus since the book, Seedfolks, is all about the garden so Kim seems to be the most important character. Kim started the garden because her father died before she was even born and she wanted to show him that he was his daughter since he farmed back in Vietnam. So on the anniversery of his death she went accross the street from her apartment and planted Lima beans in a vacant lot. This lot was filled with garbage so she cleared a spot next to an old fridge and plants her Lima Beans. Without even knowing it Kim started this garden and got the residents on Gibb Street to become closer and learn more about each other. All of these simple, little tasks created the garden on Gibb Street in Cleveland . These people that start a garden with Kim learn that there are other good, similar things about eachother, other than just the color of your skin or where you came from around the world. Also it doesn't matter what your beliefs, cultures, or religions are, all that matters is your personality and what's inside. =====
