Hi guys,
Just a quick thank you to everyone who sent me information about their
institution's edible gardens and ones that they have heard of. From
getting artists involved, to connecting with First Nations ethnobotany, to
having health NGOs involved - I have learned so much! I really appreciate
the knowledge share.
Happy gardening everyone.
-Stephanie
