This community garden has existed longer than the Cottonwood one, and the plots seem a bit larger. This plot is neatly cared for and productive.
Carpenter skills have provided a diamond-shaped structure for Swiss chard, all set in a larger plot with a low fence.
Vancouver's warm weather hadn't really begun, so milk cartons filled with water help warm up the tomato plants.
Gardeners are always changing things--this appears to be a plot under development. Or perhaps there are new gardeners for this plot.
An area given over to flowers--
I caught someone harvesting their garlic.
I had to severely restrain myself from picking these Alpine strawberries. They are the best!
Back to the wild, a space that runs alongside the gardens, this time a marshy area, rather than the blackberry bushes and morning glory that were near the sign to the garden. Retaining wild areas in an urban area is crucial in many ways.

What a beautiful garden! It's neat to peek in on such an established community garden.
I'm impressed with your self control, Alpine Strawberries are fantastic. A problem that has lead to 4 bushes of them in my yard :)
