During the day of the compost work party at Elisabeth Rogers Community Garden, we garbled the plants of the season and cut them into small pieces for the compost bin to digest into soil. All photos by Cemrenaz Uyguner.
Elisabeth Rogers Community Garden is one of the four gardens across xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ílwətaʔ/selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) territories where our project Looking at the Garden Fence grew, worked and rested. Elisabeth Rogers Community Garden is located at Manitoba Street and East 7th Avenue ↗. As a part of Looking at the Garden Fence, we worked with gardeners, neighbours and collaborators in the project and organized a work party on August 8th to process the compost bins of the garden & gifted soil and manure to the gardeners.
