To focus the project on the garden

Before decamping to Trenelle they slaves in plantation houses, owned by colons. They worked in the cane fields, they have a history of farming and tending their own crops to survive and feed themselves.
The first inhabitants of Trenelle lived in slums and gardened to survive. Before they arrive there, they lived in houses belonging to owner of the sugar factories. Their parents when they were slaves and worked  too in the sugar factories farmed the land for living.
As Gardening was a way to survive in slavery and working times until crisis of sugar factory in sixties, today for inhabitants of Trenelle, gardening is way to root in this world. Here, having a garden is also necessary as having a roof.
So the garden is a really strong social, political and cultural purpose for these inhabitants.


That's why I decided to focus my project on the garden.
