Who are all the characters in Seedfolks?

I'll give you a list of character names, but you'll need to read the book for a description of each one.

The story is set in the inner-city, where there is very little open ground. The first character we meet is Kim, a young Vietnamese girl who decides to start a garden in a vacant lot as a memorial to her father. Kim's neighbors include Ana, Wendell, Gonzalo, Leona, Sae Young, Curtis, Lateesha, Royce, Penny, Marciela, Sam, Amir, Florence, and Virgil. These neighbors first watch what Kim is doing, then question each other about what she might be growing, and some even get involved in the planting. Each one is personally touched and experiences some kind of change because of the garden.
