‘Taboo garden’, aragogona , are communal gardens whose access and work is restricted and regulated by community leaders. This garden above Loltong village was started in July 2016, and a year later, in July 2017, all restrictions on its access and work were lifted - that’s what is meant by opening the taboo garden. I was in Loltong when the garden was opened and recorded the first people who harvested the yams, as well as the pig-killing ceremony and the exchange of mats that is part of the opening ceremony (mwa mahavangi na aragogona 'the opening of the taboo garden').
