From June to October, 2023, the youth and research team of YARI-Collective planted and cared for a living garden installation. Throughout the summer, youth transplanted seedlings, watered their plants, harvested herbs and veggies to take home to their families, created art inspired by their time in the garden, and shared stories of gardens they have left behind.

naming our garden
Our garden goes by many names; one name could not possibly hold all of the many relationships and meanings formed within the garden. Each name emerged from time spent in the garden together throughout the summer and captures the variety of sentiments the garden has inspired, among them peace, hope, nostalgia, longing, grief, joy, and curiosity.
