LDS leaders want to turn community garden into parking lot. Neighbors are fighting back.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Quinn Porucznik, 10, left, and his sister Zoey, 13, feed the chickens that live in the community garden a few feet away from their home at the end of Elizabeth Street in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2019. The Poruczniks grow on one of the 42 plots at the garden, which has operated on church land for 43 years. The LDS Church plans to evict a community garden on the land it owns behind its 33rd Ward meetinghouse to pave for parking places.
