Community Is… sits down with Mike Large and discusses his work with community gardening and starting the Fair Field boulevard garden.

Here are links relevant to our chat:

• City of Victoria Boulevard Gardening Guidelines: https://www.victoria.ca/EN/main/residents/parks/boulevards-program/Boulevard-gardening.html
• Mike’s ‘Street Greens’ website: https://streetgreens.com/
• Instructional video on boulevard gardening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW_OASKnm24&t=517s

Remember, it is important to read and follow the City of Victoria's Boulevard Gardening Guidelines before starting your boulevard garden, including instructions on getting the consent of the adjacent property owner (unless you are that person), and most importantly, getting clearance from BC1Call in relation to underground utilities.  Call or click BC1 (https://www.bc1c.ca/) before you dig!

And lastly, many thanks to our trusty Sound Engineer Dave Gaskin who was instrumental in the production of this episode!
