Allotments are so important - the benefits are numerous, it's just a shame that in some areas they are under threat from development or increasingly, flooding
Its still very much winter here in Canada. My indoor "garden" is mostly salad greens and I got a little harvest of cherry tomatoes
Not a green revolution however it feeds the soul while we wait for Spring. YES to Victory Gardens for our communities. Food security, community building, well being, climate action. Im working on a summer project to grow food with kids in our community rink
