Summer at the Danny Woo Community Garden is spectacular. Sunlight slides through bright green foliage and everything is in full bloom. This is the largest green space in the Chinatown-International District, spanning roughly 2.5 acres.
The garden’s most vibrant members are a lively bunch of elders who tend to the 80 vegetable and flower plots that line the terraced garden.
One morning in June, a group of community elders is assembled around a wooden table by the entrance gate of the garden. They bicker and burst into laughter as a fellow gardener comes by the table and playfully accuses another gardener of taking her plants.
Kae-Li Deng, who manages the garden, translates the argument.

Kae-Li Deng, who manages the garden, translates the argument.
“There is an argument in our WeChat group,” she explains. “One gardener says Mr. Yang stole her plants. But Mr. Yang [says] it was a misunderstanding”.
According to Deng, these disputes are par for the course here at the garden.
Yuying Chou, one of the elders who gardens Danny Woo, leads us up a winding staircase to her plot. A maze of narrow pathways and makeshift steps climbs the hill, taking us past several plots, each one stamped with the personality and quirks of its gardener."...
