From the Roots Up

Gardens are most often associated with the suburbs and rural Canada, but more and more often we can turn a corner in the middle of a big city and find a patch of green space set aside for community gardens, with flowers and vegetables making an unlikely but pleasant picture against the backdrop of tall buildings. However, no matter where the garden, reducing the amount of pesticides used to get results is an important part of protecting the environment. [From EcoAction Environment Canada]
