Presentation tonight - Turning Lawns Into Gardens

Good day.  Sorry for the short notice, but tonight at 7 pm Central, there is a presentation / discussion about an urban (Regina, SK) small business that is working on urban garden design and implementation.  One of the partners is a PDC grad.  Details at https://youngagrarians.org/feb-12-2024-online-city-street-farms/

I'll be there online, if for no other reason to hear what others are doing and perhaps even learn some stuff.  I also have young adults still at home, so perhaps it can give me some ideas to get them out doing something economic while improving the urban environment.

.....On the right Track..Back in the 1950s my Granddad had about 30 acres. Never use any kind of Fertilizer Used what God give him..He would turn the Ground over in January and again in march..Always had a great turn out.. My dad did the same but 5 acres, 1970s and 80s.. I my self about 1/2 acre but even that I used what God give me, my back Yard...We need more veggie stands..So glad to see what your Doing..

Thanks Paul.  I just posted about the presentation...it isn't me doing the urban gardening.  It was interesting and there is a replay available - it's an interesting sort of hybrid business model they are using.  They homeowner supplies land and water.  In exchange they get something like a CSA box.  The farmers supply labour, seeds, plants, etc and they bring the excess to farmer's markets.

In the summer here in Winnipeg, there's a farmer's market at least 4 days per week within relatively easy distance from us that we can access.
