I've given up trying to get a spot at the community gardens. Four years I've been on the waiting lists. I feel like an orphan. I'm an orphaned gardener. Any ideas how I can get my hands back into the dirt. Not that I need the veggies, but growing them feeds my soul. Any ideas - Help Please !
When I moved here four years ago, I applied for a community garden spot. I was informed that I was put onto a waiting list. I have relisted each year. Still waiting. What does a person have to do to get a bit of land to grow some food around here? Colour me frustrated. Help? Ideas?Suggestions?
I was walking through the neighborhood today and noticed so many beautiful, sunny backyards that aren't being used for anything but grass. At the same time, I know so many people living nearby who are desperate for a tiny patch of dirt to grow some tomatoes but have no land.
Hypothetically, if there was a way to "match" a local gardener with a neighbor who has extra space (in exchange for some of the harvest, of course!), do you think people in [Brampton/Mississauga] would actually do it? Or is the "fence" between neighbors too high these days? Just thinking out loud! ?
Hey neighbors! I’m curious—has anyone here tried to get a plot at a community garden in Mississauga? I just applied and told the waitlists are years long.
I’m an "Orphaned Gardener" (just moved into a condo and already missing my backyard) and I'm trying to figure out how people in apartments are supposed to grow their own food. Is everyone just using balcony pots, or are there hidden spots I don't know about? Would love to hear how (if any) you guys are getting your hands in the dirt this season!
