She grew up there, with her grandmother.

“I grew up in her house, back in Atlanta.” (p.23)

“Mama believed in doctors, but not Granny. Not even if they were black.”(P. 23)

Her grandmother was a very independent person and did what she believed was the right thing. Leona has those exact character traits.

“I grew up in her house, back in Atlanta. She drank down a big cup of goldenrod tea every morning, with a nutmeg floating in it, and declared she didn’t need no other medicine.”(P. 23)

She wanted to help by somehow getting the city to clear out the garbage that people kept piling up.

“..I studied all the trash on the ground.”(P. 25)

“‘I believe I’ll plant me a patch of Goldenrod right here.’” (P. 25)

But, she did help the garden by waiting on hold and talking to the government and city officials to get all the trash cleared out. That was the biggest challenge because each person would basically brush her off.

“That morning I took a bus downtown and walked into the Public Health Department.” (P. 28)]]> 2020-11-26 05:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bliss_ful/kxx8v7bu0c2h8dwk/wish/962446211 Fruit bliss_ful https://padlet.com/bliss_ful/kxx8v7bu0c2h8dwk/wish/962452939 Leona eventually discovers that the city of Cleveland owns the lot. When she gets nowhere with the City on the telephone, she decides the best way to deal with the garbage situation is by being proactive. Therefore, she takes matters into her own hands. I feel like she learned that you have to “fight” for your right.

“When people talk to you on the phone, you’re nothing but a voice.” (P. 27)
