Try the book. It's never too late -- lol. I grew up in working class immigrant Queens, NYC. All the "green" we had was contained in little 4x10 "openings of dirt" they cut in the sidewalk for the trees they either never got around to planting or they were planted and we killed them by playing on them. But after reading LoF, the dark end of the block at night was a dripping jungle, and every tree a twisted ficus.
