Excerpt:
What inspired you to start Seed & Nourish, and how has your journey as a gardener and entrepreneur evolved over the years?
I had spent a decade backpacking solo across the world. After a bad breakup, I ended up back in my hometown in Saskatchewan where I got a job working at a Cree community garden. There, I witnessed the power of a seed to empower and transform. All of the wonder and beauty I had sought outside, I found within the garden. But in the garden, I was part of the growth and experience, rather than just as a tourist. In the stillness, I found a path within myself for growth.
When I moved back to Vancouver, I wanted to create spaces for others to grow because I believe the garden is the perfect medium. Seed & Nourish is a way of bringing cities to life, and creating gardens that bring our wildest dreams into focus.
Working with gardens across the city from rooftops to backyards to the pollinator potager at Fairmont Waterfront has helped me become rooted in place. Seed & Nourish has evolved beyond food to create landscapes that are beautiful, beneficial, resilient, and part of an ecosystem.
One of the most fulfilling experiences as an entrepreneur has been working hand-in-hand with the team at Fairmont Waterfront to grow food and pollinator flowers on their rooftop garden, which Executive Chef Adam Middleton and Director of Culinary & Beverage, Chef Michael Pagnacco transform into their hyper-local Province to Plate menu at ARC Restaurant and their wildly popular Rooftop Garden Dinner series.
