Community Gardens
What would really help make our community even better is community gardens. We've had great success with some of these in the past! What's amazing about community gardens is that one project helps in so many different ways. Community gardens give us a chance to meet people in our neighbourhood, and that strengthens the community; we are also given the chance to grow our own healthy food, which gives us the chance to eat better-quality food that we might not be able to have if it weren't for the community gardens. Another things community gardens give us is feeling good about growing and eating local food, which is much better for the environment, because the food doesn't have to be flown in from far-off countries. We also feel happier when we're working outside, so gardens contribute to our well-being. There are so many great things that come from one simple idea - everything from being happier, to feeding our children better, to helping the environment.
