I think a better initiative would be to have neighbourhoods get together and organize meals.Here on the coast of Quebec community shared gardens (initiated by the social workers) are quite popular - especially with the senior population. Here in Kegaska which has a tiny population, most seniors have their own veggie garden, and a few of us (including me) have at least a small greenhouse.
That's what I'm talking about! Right on Boom Boom! We need this as a challenge! I challenge babble.ca to get some COMMUNITY gardens going! I'll get on this. My family is already sharing some asparagus this spring. The whole family's goods are being shared as we speak. Once you have a good garden growing, you don't need to buy anything. You can trade for what you need. I'm no farmer but we have been having a nice harvest.
I'd appreciate it if babble found a way to promote community gardens over this initiative.
