Urban green spaces, like community gardens, received increased attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing from an ethnographic study on participating in community garden activities in Edmonton, Canada and inputs from 194 gardeners and 21 garden coordinators, this paper captures the experiences of creating community during a pandemic. Garden coordinators had to rethink and rework their operating styles in keeping participants physically apart but socially connected. Participants confirmed that garden activities provided respite from the pandemic restrictions. Findings also indicate that some participants missed group activities like work bees and potlucks while others were able to re-create community in digital spaces and in chanced and informal interactions. This study draws from and subsequently contributes to the existing literature on social resilience provided by community gardens during and after a crisis event. It also provides policy recommendations on how the city administration can help facilitate garden activities during times of disruptions.

物理上分开但社会上联系在一起:COVID-19 大流行期间社区园艺的社会复原力教训



在新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 疫情期间,社区花园等城市绿地受到越来越多的关注。本文借鉴了加拿大埃德蒙顿参加社区花园活动的人种学研究以及 194 名园丁和 21 名花园协调员的意见,总结了大流行期间创建社区的经验。花园协调员必须重新思考和改造他们的操作方式,以保持参与者在物理上分开但在社交上保持联系。参与者证实,花园活动让人们摆脱了大流行的限制。调查结果还表明,一些参与者错过了诸如工作蜂和聚餐等集体活动,而其他参与者则能够在数字空间以及偶然和非正式的互动中重新创建社区。这项研究借鉴并随后贡献了社区花园在危机事件期间和之后提供的有关社​​会复原力的现有文献。它还就城市管理部门如何在中断期间帮助促进花园活动提供政策建议。
