Yes, she's right.
What a fine instructional video. In community organizing, She's cautioning to not be "colonial", to not try to impose your will on the local community. Instead, listen to the locals, learn what they want and help them to make what they want work. In this case, a community garden, which can great gathering place for neighbors to get to know each other, as well as being a productive, healthy, delicious food source (as anyone knows who's had a tomato grown in such a garden as opposed to one shipped in to a grocery store).
In my city there's a neighborhood with a great community garden where the realtors trumpet the garden as a selling point but do nothing to support the neighborhood's efforts to make it flourish. In that case, the realtors are obvious "colonials."
Here AOC is making sure that those who work to advance the "Green New Deal" understand it's to be done by respecting the neighborhoods they are dealing with. What a great organizer and leader she is.
Thanks for the video.

Here's another great video from her:
AOC repots a plant with help from her Instagram friends (watch the heart fly in).
This actually powerful stuff, politically speaking (and just plain fun besides). Her detractors evidently don't have the slightest idea what they are up against - she is an EVERY-WOMAN.
