Food Commons for All on Haultain Boulevard (Victoria, Canada)

A very inspiring example on how to turn public/common land for inclusive gardening projects; a lively conversation with the founding mothers of the project:

“Rainey Hopewell’s crazy idea has ended up feeding a neighborhood and creating community. She and Margot Johnston planted vegetables in the parking strip in front of their house. They offer them free for the taking ? to anyone, anytime ? with messages chalked on the sidewalk noting when particular vegies are ready to pick. Neighboring children and adults are joining in to work on the garden, harvesting fun along with food, and even handing fresh-picked vegies to passers-by.”
