So sad to see the racist city of….. Seattle tear down such a monument of Black people because a drug addict criminal died from drugs.

How dare they destroy as beautiful and majestic as this.

But its been 3 years the city has destroyed the garden for good.

The Seattle Times

Seattle Parks and Recreation workers used construction vehicles Wednesday morning to remove a community garden that was originally planted in Cal Anderson Park spontaneously, as part of 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests.

The city cited unsafe conditions in and around the Black Lives Memorial Garden, including vandalism of park restrooms, drug use and camping. Releasing statements from several Black leaders supporting its approach, the city also vowed to “conceptualize” a new garden elsewhere at the park.

I’m a little amazed that something like a garden that was grown by Black People will still end up being deemed unsafe by the city.

Like its a garden you can’t fuck it up to make it unsafe can you as a people?

BLM of course is angered that one of their eyesores is being removed.

Black Star Farmers, the group that stewarded the garden, denounced the removal in a statement, saying people who used the space are “mourning the destruction of the physical embodiment of years of collaboration, connecting with plant life” and sharing knowledge, food and medicine.

Seattle Parks initially planned to take action in October but delayed the removal amid pushback from Black Star Farmers and others. More than 5,000 people signed an online petition against the removal, describing the unsanctioned garden as honoring Black and Indigenous people killed by police, while also providing joy and healing to community members without much access to green space. There were plants like amaranth, corn, strawberries, currants, calendula and nettles grown in circular beds.

But Seattle Parks said the garden had to be removed to facilitate other uses of the park, which was part of the Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone where activists gathered for several weeks in June 2020. The garden is located in Cal Anderson’s “Sun Bowl” area, in one of few spaces in the park appropriate for gatherings and large events, because it’s a “natural amphitheater” close to electrical and water hookups, Seattle Parks said. During post-2020 public engagement, Seattle Parks heard from community members who wanted to see the garden moved within the park, the department said.

They are mad that no matter what they do they will never make it equal in terms of White People ever. They watch as their garden is just a bunch of weeds that need to be demolished while Gardens from White People and from Asia are praised.

This “garden” was a place for drugs and a sanitary danger. It will be forgotten forever.
