The Glover Park Community Garden Association started around 1939 and then it slowly grew to become a victory garden in 1942 when the US was at war.

格洛弗公园社区花园协会大约在1939年成立,随后在1942年美国二战时期,它逐渐发展成为一个“胜利花园”。


It became essential for the folks that lived in the area here to grow their own vegetables as they were not able to purchase these things in the grocery store at that time.

对于生活在这一带的人们来说,自己种植蔬菜变得至关重要,因为当时他们无法在杂货店里买到这些东西。


We really want to respect the intent, the original intent of this garden which was a victory garden during World War II.

我们真的很想尊重这座花园的初衷,它在二战期间曾是一座“胜利花园”。


And we just think that's kind of amazing because it's almost we're using it that way again now with food shortages potentially at the grocery stores.

我们觉得这有点不可思议,因为现在疫情期间杂货店食品短缺,我们又用这种方式自给自足。


And we think it's exciting to carry on that tradition for the people that have been here before us and gotten through rough times and to see better days.

我们认为,为那些在我们之前来到这里、度过艰难时期并迎来美好日子的人传承这一传统,是一件令人兴奋的事情。


So, hopefully they're not looking down on us saying, 'Oh God, what are you guys doing.'

希望他们不会居高临下地看着我们说:‘天哪,你们在干什么。’


My fingernails have not been clean since early March probably. They're the opposite of French nails.

I don't know what you would call them but they're, well, you'd call them dirty. That's all.

我不知道你会怎么说,肯定就说指甲很脏吧。


I got a lot of vegetables, especially squash. The biggest one that I harvested I think it was 42 pounds.

I had to bring it home in a cart because it was so heavy. I couldn't just carry it by myself.

I think I'm the oldest gardener here, too, in age, heading for 90, the big one.

我觉得论年纪我也是这儿最年长的园丁了,快九十岁了。


I'm still out here. So, I guess the good Lord's looking after me a little bit. Either that or he's getting even with me.

但我还在这里坚持,我猜上帝多少还是在眷顾着我。要么就是他在跟我算账。


It seems like everyone wants to get back into the garden, regardless of the virus and the situation that we have in front of us.

似乎每个人都想重返花园,尽管现在是疫情期间,我们这里的境况也不是太好。


They all want to get back into the garden. They want to garden. They don't want to lose their gardens.

It's become more and more a valuable commodity both, you know, from a growing perspective of fresh vegetables and sustainability as it is emotional as well.

从新鲜蔬菜的供应增长以及可持续发展的角度来看,同时从情感层面来说,它已经越来越成为一种珍贵的商品。


For physical and mental benefits, I have really enjoyed coming to the garden. I would not be very happy without the garden.

The timing has been interesting with the COVID-19 going on because this has really been our escape during this time.

虽然疫情在发展,但我们的时光都非常有意思,因为这段时间这真的成了我们的避风港。


It's a great place to come and have fresh air, sunshine, get some exercise, digging and pushing the wheelbarrow around, at the same time having some connection with our neighbors and other people as well.

这是个很棒的地方,来这里可以呼吸新鲜空气、享受阳光、锻炼身体、挖土和推着独轮车四处走动,同时还能与邻居和其他人建立联系。


But we all have our social distancing with our little cages here, 25×25-foot cage.

但在这里,我们都在各自25×25英尺的小隔离间里保持社交距离。
