Preston "King" Robinson
Founder, Garden Picasso
Preston “King” Robinson is the founder of Garden Picasso, a New Orleans green infrastructure company. He grew up in the city’s Seventh Ward, beat cancer at seventeen, and went into chemical engineering before coming home with a new way of seeing his city.
On Unsolicited Perspectives, he explained how flooding, food deserts, and heat islands are the same problem, why the city sinks, and how a vacant lot can be turned into something that holds water, grows food, and pays somebody.
