* Racial and socioeconomic divisions: The diverse group of residents who start the community garden come from different backgrounds and have varying levels of trust and understanding. There's initial suspicion, prejudice, and a lack of communication between them.
* Conflicting ideas about gardening: Each character has their own approach to gardening, which leads to clashes and disagreements about how the garden should be managed.
* Fear of change and the unknown: Some characters are resistant to the garden, seeing it as a threat to the status quo or a symbol of unwanted change in their neighborhood.
* Personal struggles and insecurities: The characters' individual struggles with life, love, loss, and identity also influence their interactions with the garden and each other.
The conflict is ultimately resolved as the characters learn to appreciate each other's strengths, communicate effectively, and find common ground. Through their shared experience of growing the garden, they build a sense of community and overcome their differences. The garden becomes a symbol of hope, resilience, and the power of collaboration.
