Everton Park project day 1

…my project for the Liverpool Biennial, started this morning with a digger rolling over the bowl of Everton Park – first opening up a hole in the ground for a team of collaborating National Museums Liverpool archeologists searching for the remains of St. Benedict’s Church previously standing at the entry to the garden site (which they found and which local neighbors who had been married and christened there were eager to see, and then hustling home to bring friends, family, and photos of various events in the church before it was demolished in the 1960’s along with the rest of the neighborhood that became the park) – before we proceeded with the digging of a 6′ wide 500′ foot long planting bed which will soon be the Everton Park Foraging Spiral.
