Abstract

Aroma-Home, a community garden project just outside Paris, France, originated in aromatics, flavours, guerrilla gardening and conversations. In 2013, Sarah Harper of Friches Théâtre Urbain joined forces with local inhabitants to reclaim urban public spaces marred by construction and neglect and to heal social and environmental wounds caused by this damage. Creating tiny artistic (agri)cultural eco-oases in brownfields, participants began to alter both the urban landscape and attitudes towards active citizenship as they used a community garden/art-making process to establish an urban agricultural ‘commons’ of natural and cultural resources equitably shared. Here, the shared resources were the gardeners’ edible stories and storied edibles: the collective memories of food growing and preparation, the shared meals, communal gardening and the incipient community activism of the participants. This essay explores how Aroma-Home Community Garden grew a garden rooted in local life by drawing on embodied memory stories of land, horticulture and food — stories shared sometimes in words, sometimes in gardening and cooking activities, and it argues that the garden’s efficacy is located in the participants’ memories and practices.
