A scant half dozen blocks from the bustle of Chinatown, we walked into a fragrant oasis, quiet except for the buzzing of a million bees and the chatter of chickadees and sparrows.

Strathcona Community Garden. Once a dump, now ... let me show you:

Environmental Youth Alliance map.




Apples, redding up.




Yellow squash.




Weeding the rows of onions.




A few plots on the southeast corner.

Tomorrow: history of the garden, current projects, more veggies, fruit and flowers, beehives, and a hidden Buddha.
