One problem with New York City — there is a painful lack of gardens and green area, and an abundance of urban neglect. Brooklyn resident Todd Bieber, aka The Vigilante Gardener, is doing his part to change all of that — one closet-sized plot of land at a time.

After discovering a small and long-ignored garden near his apartment, Todd and a few ‘courageous crusaders’ worked above the law to clean it up, and plant an herb and vegetable garden. Seen here in two parts, the results are nothing short of awesome.
