\n(Click on image for larger version)<\/p><\/div> 2018 was the 7th season for the Common Roots Urban Farm<\/a> which was “set up as a pilot project at Robie Street and Bell Road in 2012”. However, it’s their last season at that site, and we haven’t heard yet where it will be next year, just that it will be somewhere. I am guessing it will be one the old St. Pats Highschool site on Quinpool, only a few hundred meters away. At least that would be a good<\/em> site for it with lots of sun.<\/p>\n

\nExtract: “The old St. Patrick\u2019s High School site should be preserved for urban farming and a public park. That school of thought spurred 700 signatories to petition Halifax regional council last week. \u201cWe want the space converted for public use, into a community garden and food forest,\u201d said Omri Haiven, a former St. Pat\u2019s student who is part of a grassroots group called the Quinpool Commoning Project. \u201cHalifax is one of the most food insecure cities in Canada and that seems to be the solution \u2014 have gardens for people to grow their own food and to learn from each other and build community ties.\u201d…The problem with the Commoning Project\u2019s green-space aspirations is that the 1.3-hectare plot of land has in the past been estimated to be valued at $7 million…\u201cWe basically have 10 raised beds there right now. We just went ahead and did it. ”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
