The Garden was also planted and designed by T’uy’t’tanat Cease Wyss, an Indigenous Matriarch of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Sto:lo and Hawaiian people and an ethnobotanist, artist, activist and community-based educator.

During the walk, registrants will be taken to three locations in the Kitsilano neighbourhood.

The photo walk will take up to three hours, including a short break.
After the walk, participants are invited to stay behind for a conversation with the artist and each other to talk about photography, public spaces, and community.
