Thus,raising questions about the "who" has the right to grow and harvest and spray on a private property and stirring disgruntled emotions among some of the community garden  members, who grow their own organic food to survive after they  lost jobs  and you name it.. Now some of them  are losing their own grown FOOD , after they have been denied FOOD STAMPS previously  and now offered FREE PESTICIDES on their organically grown food!
