DARTMOUTH, N.S. A new community garden in Dartmouth, N.S. is feeding the body and soul, but the project can’t function without funding. As the cost of food continues to rise, neighbours of Landrace Crescent Park saw a need for a community garden so they can grow food. “We had available green space, so we approached the city and we were able to get the approval from them to put in a community garden,” says Robert Howlett. There are nine plots available for rent, some of which will be accessible for people who have mobility issues. “They’ll be able to come down and grab whatever they want for their dinner tonight, or to help us garden, weed and maintain those plots,” Howlett says. “They’re able to grow whatever they’d like there for their own purpose.”
