BUSHFOOD GARDEN
The far end of the community garden is dedicated to growing native edible plants.
With helpful input and guidance from First Nations horticulturalist Terry Lennis and his son, as well as from First Nation's led businesses such as Indigigrow, Bush to Bowl and Shared Knowledge, we have established the beginnings of a productive bush food garden that includes a wealth of berries, fruits, greens, tubers and herbs.
Not only are we experimenting with creating recipes with these ingredients but we are also nurturing a space where people can continue to learn more about First Nations culture and their connection to the environment.
The bush food team works together as needed, generally on Sunday afternoons.
