41 years ago, a group of community activists united to cultivate a barren hillside in Seattle's Chinatown-I.D. into a 1.5-acre community garden for elders, one of the first in the city of Seattle. This effort was a response to ongoing neighborhood neglect and the elder community's need for a safe growing and gathering space. What began as a simple terraced garden quickly transformed into a haven to escape social isolation, stay physically active, and access affordable culturally-relevant produce. In 2010 the garden grew to meet the needs of our changing community, forging inter-generational connections through children's garden programming. To this day, we work to amplify the stories and legacies of our gardeners and our land.

On this evening, join a special group of people to celebrate community power, cultural preservation, and environmental access.
