Making Home and Corporate Vegetable Gardens
Today on the podcast we head to Montreal to hang out with Shawn Manning from Urban Seedling (https://www.urbanseedling.com/). He tells us how, 10 years ago, he channelled his love of growing vegetables into a business specialized in creating vegetable gardens.
Along with helping people create and grow vegetable gardens, another goal was to improve food security in the city. He realized that installing gardens for people who can afford a gardener probably doesn’t move the needle much on food security…but he’s tweaked the business to include corporate gardens—and use that as a way to improve food security in Montreal.
