Collective Gardens, Wildfire Smoke, Feeding a Community, & Making Friends

Conor talks with Talia about collective gardens and urban agriculture; all the benefits they bring and the challenges they face in feeding communities. They discuss the impact climate change is having on urban agriculture and particularly the impact of wildfire smoke on peoples' ability to get outside. There's also information on how you can get involved, whether you live in Montréal where this garden is located, or want help setting up one locally where you are.

In our environmental question Q&A this week we answer your question: What is the one thing I can do, as somebody concerned about the environment, that would have the biggest impact?

Be sure to send us more of your questions at info@sierraclub.ca and sign up for email updates from us here.

Talia is an Urban Agriculture Coordinator with the Milton Parc Citizens Committee. You can find their collective garden on Facebook (group name is Les Jardins Collectifs Milton Parc) and Instagram ( @jardinscollectifsmiltonparc).
