种植花园是一种希望的行为。和别人一起建造的花园会使社区成长。大量的数据已经证实了城市内自然空间对心理健康的好处以及生态恢复对保护自然的重要性;然而，关于积极参与生态恢复以及它如何影响心理健康的文章很少。我们的项目为那些没有能力接受重罪指控审判并从监狱释放到洛杉矶社区护理的人提供机会，将他们社区住房的城市景观恢复为原生花园。生态学术语植物群落描述了在一个栖息地中一起生长的一组植物。我们用这个词来命名我们的项目，以代表我们在恢复土地时的共同增长。花园生长在两个未上锁的社区小屋（共有40名居民，每个地点20名），由非营利组织“胜利从现在开始”监督，位于洛杉矶中南部的高度城市化社区。这两个家庭为被还押到洛杉矶县卫生服务部（DHS）的男子提供庇护，以完成长达2年的社区能力恢复。该能力计划由加州州医院部资助，由洛杉矶县国土安全部运营。然后，该县与当地组织签订合同，提供住房和其他服务。该计划的参与者必须没有能力接受审判，患有严重的精神障碍，如精神分裂症或双相I型障碍，并且在监禁前无家可归。所有参与者都居住在洛杉矶县监狱，大多数属于种族少数群体。我们的项目始于2022年8月，由当地原生植物苗圃的所有者，洛杉矶县国土安全部的精神病学家和Victory Starts Now的负责人合作。我们的目标是帮助参与者恢复能力，同时恢复社区家园的本土植物和野生动物。每周一次，本地植物专家为参与者提供研讨会和实践教育，他们在所有其他时间都维护这些花园。当项目开始时，地面由杂草和严重压实，养分匮乏的土壤组成。一年后，参与者将土地改造成一个充满绿色植物，鲜花，蝴蝶，蜜蜂和鸟类的花园，其中许多在这个密集的城市环境中很少见。
Planting a garden is an act of hope. A garden made with others grows community. Copious data have validated the mental health benefits of having natural spaces within cities and the importance of ecological restoration for the conservation of nature; however, little has been written about active engagement in ecological restoration and how it affects mental health. Our project provides persons who are incompetent to stand trial on felony charges and are released from jail into community care in Los Angeles with the opportunity to restore the urban landscape of their community housing into native gardens. The ecological term plant community describes a group of plants growing together in a habitat. We named our project after this term to represent our communal growth as we restore the land. Gardens are grown at two unlocked community domiciles (40 total residents, 20 at each site), overseen by the nonprofit organization Victory Starts Now, in the heavily urbanized neighborhood of South Central Los Angeles. Both homes provide shelter to men who have been remanded to the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) to complete community-based competency restoration for up to 2 years. The competency program is funded by the California Department of State Hospitals and operated by the Los Angeles County DHS. The county then contracts with local organizations to offer housing and other services. Program participants must be incompetent to stand trial, have a serious mental disorder such as schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder, and have been homeless prior to incarceration. All participants had been residing at the Los Angeles County Jail, and most belonged to racially minoritized groups.Our project began in August 2022 as a collaboration between owners of a local native plant nursery, a psychiatrist from the Los Angeles County DHS, and the director of Victory Starts Now. Our goal is to aid participants’ competency restoration while restoring native plants and wildlife at community homes. Once per week, native plant specialists offer workshops and hands-on education to participants, who maintain these gardens at all other times. When the project began, the grounds consisted of weeds and heavily compacted, nutrient-deprived soil. After 1 year, participants transformed the land into a garden bursting with greenery, flowers, butterflies, bees, and birds, many of which are rarely seen in this dense urban environment.
