About gardens4everybody
From the publisher's feed
At Gardens 4 everybody our goal is to encourage and empower people to enjoy gardening using methods which result in less work. No matter the space limitations or conditions everybody can grow…
something. From enjoying a small houseplant to growing your own food. We want you to experience the satisfaction and benefits gardening has to offer.
We are sharing information about gardening in zone 5b which in our case is the Ottawa area. We use sustainable organic practices, focusing on permaculture, native plants for pollinators, and fruits and vegetables. Ultimately this encourages spaces that are habitats for small animals such as birds, bees and bugs, creating beauty and capturing carbon. We base episodes on our experiences working in the Barrhaven Food Cupboard garden and pollinator gardens, as well as our own homes and gardens. Join us as we explore seasonal topics and try to demystify gardening.
