The event featured spectacular climate-solution costumes as living sculpture created by Earth Celebrations.
Local residents joined in touring the urban gardens jungle like a zoo — distanced and masked for safety — viewing the exhibition from outside the garden gates of La Plaza Cultural Garden (at the southwest corner of Ninth St. and Avenue C), 9th & C Community Garden (catty-corner from La Plaza) and 6th & Avenue B Garden.
