Canada: City plants seed for Ottawa community gardens to bloom
Brewer is one of the 27 community gardens operating on City of Ottawa land, a number that may grow because of the city’s Community-led Green Initiatives and Garden Program.

Excerpt:
Just Food, a non-profit supporter of 140 Ottawa-based community gardens, has often been a bridge between the gardens and the city. But the organization’s Director of Operations and Neighbourhood Planning Kate Veinot says it’s much more than just that.
“Community gardens and green spaces, they provide an opportunity to access local food or to grow local food, but they also are spaces to learn, to gather, to grow community, to transfer skills from older generation to a younger generation, from one culture to another culture,” she said.
Despite a background in both policy and food, Veinot had never been involved with a community garden until she came across the overgrown Orléans Children’s Garden while on a walk with her young daughter.
Working to clean the garden with family sent Veinot into the world of Ottawa’s community gardens.
“I’d grown up growing food just in my backyard in low pots, but had never been involved with a community garden before,” she said.
Veinot and Just Food worked closely with the city throughout the development of this new program and are hopeful that it will offer more opportunities for aspiring groups.
