    I love your video.

    Great video. Our societies have forgotten the basics of growing food and feeling community. I feel every family or household should dig up a plot of soil and grow vegetables/fruit. If land is not available join a communal garden. I think this is vital for our children to experience.

    Great share! So great to see this happening and happening for the youth. The school gardens are an excellent idea. So happy how things are moving in the right direction…together, enjoying the community. Grow and go green.

    That was a very motivating video. I think my husband will have more work next year. I am inspired to make my garden bigger next year. I want to start growing kale, and other different vegetables, more herbs.

    Hi Nancy,

    I watched most of the you tube video and it sounds great. Just a few days ago I dropped off my teenage son to volunteer on an organic farm that has a garden as well as animals. He’ll be living there for 3 weeks. He has had some experience with gardens but he will be getting a real educate and also helping out the farm owners. It makes sense for us to be growing healthy foods and taking care of our bodies and souls too.

    Thank you,
    Francesca

    great video Nancy
    it took me back to growing up in Holland where we did have a school garden and my parents also had a community garden. Great fun and experience
    this year I am part of the CSA group at Whole Circle Farm and take the kids with me when I can….

    Barbara, I agree with you: This is not as complicated as we might think. If you have access to a deck, a roof, a patch of ground no larger than a flower bed or far more space, you can.

    Any reasonably intelligent person with time or patience or internet access can learn as much about soil and gardening as the most experienced farmer knew a hundred years ago–putting it into practice takes time however, today is the day to begin a garden.

    Francesca, Yes! you got it: You son will get real education by volunteering on an organic farm.

    What a gift!

    Thanks for sharing!

    i have often thought we should tear out a lot of our streets and replace them with gardens. have people park in communal parking areas and walk to their homes. in other words, grow food everywhere!

  14. Cathy Hamilton Says:

    What a great program to educate all ages. Thanks for sharing!

  15. Renee Says:

    Thank you for sharing such an uplifting video Nancy. I am an office manager at a local elementary school in Ontario which has been implementing an integrated eco environmental outdoor education program for the past 4 years. Our kindergarten to grade 6 students have been growing vegetable gardens, composting, planting trees, hatching and restocking salmon and many other projects with the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Credit Valley Conservation Authority. We have been recognized with several national awards for this initiative and I am so thrilled to be a part of this learning experience. It’s so inspiring to witness our youth get on board and “become the change we wish to see in the world.” More than ever our future depends on it!
