Using gestion différenciée in Geneva, Switzerland, as a case study, this article puts the politics of labor at the center of a political ecological analysis of efforts to “ecologize” the design and maintenance of urban parks. The article first highlights how the neomanagerial scripting of an “ecological” mode of managing urban parks reshapes social configurations of work by increasing the uneven distribution of agency and visibility among park workers. It then argues that ecomanagerialism also redefines the boundaries of the work collective itself, as plants shift from being understood as “undead commodities” to “nonhuman laborers.” To elucidate the social implications of the enrollment of plants’ capacities, the article advances an understanding of urban ecological work as more-than-human. The article discusses the role played by understandings of what urban nature should be, and what it should do, in producing and justifying new divisions, hierarchies, and forms of unevenness within the urban ecological workforce.

使用妊娠差异作为案例研究，在瑞士日内瓦，本文将劳动政治作为对“生态化”城市公园设计和维护工作的政治生态分析的中心。本文首先重点介绍了新的管理城市公园的“生态”模式的脚本，如何通过增加公园工作人员的代理和可见性分布不均来重塑工作的社会结构。然后，它认为，随着植物从被理解为“过时的商品”向“非人类劳动者”转变，电子商务主义也重新界定了工作集体本身的界限。为了阐明植物能力注册的社会意义，本文进一步推进了对城市生态工作的理解，超越了人类。
