recent denizens of the inlet, including the abandoned community of immigrant workers from China and India, and the company workers at the local cement plant. The natural world is as much a presence as people in the book, which chronicles how the land around
the inlet was developed into public parkland and the Butchart Gardens. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>

including historians, naturalists and local readers interested in taking a closer, more intimate look at their environment. As Nancy and Robert Turner note in the foreword, Tod Inlet “represents layers of history, layers of human presence, a home place for
myriad plants, animals and fungi, a convergence of marine and terrestrial plants, and a convergence of nature, industry and horticultural beauty.”
