DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of Place\, Chateaufort Community Garden\n\nI star
 ted to photograph a community garden near where I live. Although it is onl
 y about 15 minutes away it feels like another world. One feels transported
  to another place and time... sunshine\, wind\, the smell of earth and thi
 ngs growing. It is a place of regeneration\, a place of refuge for the peo
 ple who live in the area\, mostly apartment dwellers.\n\nOn my numerous ph
 otographic visits I met immigrants from France\, Spain\, Sri Lanka\, the P
 hilippines\, Iran\, Pakistan\, Roumania and Bangladesh as well as native M
 ontrealers. Although there are 165 official members there are some 500 par
 ticipants if one includes immediate family members as well. I have enjoyed
  watching them lovingly care for their gardens and seeing their gardens ex
 plode with vegetables and flowers\, some of them native to their countries
  of origin. I have watched them transform the land over the months with th
 eir hard work and dedication.\n\nI have been touched by the experience and
  the quiet friendships\, the generosity of the people and the serenity of 
 the place. It has been a joy and a special privilege for me to photograph 
 this urban oasis and its inhabitants.\n	Ewa Monika Zebrowski 2001\n\nArtist
