A Day of Damage

Tending to public spaces is often uncertain work. Arrived at the Portland Place Pollinator Patch today to find that a branch of the young redbud tree had been snapped off and two sections of the garden trampled down.

There were empty alcohol bottles nearby, and I think someone passed out on the plants.

Here’s how this patch looked a few weeks ago, pre-trampling.

A reminder, if one were needed, that nobody and nowhere is okay until everyone is okay.
