A lawn can look lovely but wouldn’t lots of fruits and vegetables look even better? If you only have a small space in the front of your house you can utilize containers for growing veggies.
It can also be a lovely way to cultivate friendships with passers by….it could even be the start of a community growing group where you coordinate who grows what.
URBAN SPACES
If you have no outdoor space at all to grow veggies, that’s not the end of the matter.
If you have no outdoor space at all to grow veggies, that’s not the end of the matter.
It’s almost guaranteed that there is some unused space within your community that would make the ideal spot for a veggie patch and for bringing people together, it’s just a case of finding the area and talking to the right people.
⁃ @whitemoor_garden_project on Instagram are a great example of finding an urban space. Watch them transform it on their page.
Once you’ve decided what to grow, the next step is where are you going to grow it. If you’re fortunate, you’ll have a lovely garden with space to plant everything but sometimes you might need to get a bit creative and think outside the box.
SMALL SPACES

Why is food safety IMPORTANT?
Whoever consumes the food is protected from the risk of food borne illnesses.
The food we consume play a SIGNIFICANT role in our basic functionalities and hence the need to EAT HEALTHY and SAFE FOOD.
