garden

eulogy, for a garden

Starting 3-day countdown until my community garden plot (and all of Verano Gardens) are bulldozed. For more hi-rise #UCI campus housing.

As I’ve mentioned on twitter, my community garden plot is set to be bulldozed on Monday morning, to make way for some new high-density housing for graduate students at UC Irvine.  That the current on-campus housing is already under-occupied is not a concern to those who have made this plan, I suppose.  That our garden has been on this ground since the 1970s only makes is easier to put on the chopping block (many newer buildings are also being dozed).  I don’t know if I’ll ever invest my heart so deeply in a plot of earth again.

The slideshow below is mostly from my garden, with a few images from other gardens that I love, too.  I’ll be capturing whatever other photos I can over the next day or so as I clean out my plot, and post them here.

If you are so inclined, I really would love some garden poetry in the comments below this post.  I am needing that right now.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
