Chers jardiniers, J'ai découvert votre projet dans une émission de TV en France (sur La 5, "Les citadins du futur"). Aussitôt, je me suis empressé de
chercher sur le web, plus d'informations à votre sujet.
Je vous félicite pour ce projet et tout ce qui s'imbrique autour.

I (along with Mark and Erin) have had the privilege this season to help Mr. Bouchard set up his own balcony garden. Little did we know how much we'd be learning from him!
He has been gardening since he was seven years old, making it 80 years of gardening experience! This is the first year, though, that he hasn't been able to make the long trek to the garden behind his apartment building and work the earth as he's been doing for so many years. Having a Ready-to-Grow kit on his own balcony has given him a way to continue gardening, but not have to worry about falling on his way there or deal with the difficulties of bending over, which gardening in the soil requires.

What a great summer evening! What a party! We estimated around 500 people at the BBQ, Wow!! And it ended up being a great fundraiser for the Roulant!! A huge thanks to all the gardeners and volunteers that helped out at the event and everyone that came by to enjoy it, you all made the evening very special. Thanks!!

Unfortunately, our friends in LA have lost another round in the fight to save their fourteen acre farm. They will continue with an appeal, but as time goes on the farm becomes more and more likely to be lost to developers forever.
Just last week here in Montreal, City officials released a report that stated that the Baldwin Park community garden was contaminated with Lead, Zinc, Arsenic and Cadmium. While no specifics were given, the city is claiming that the garden may have to be closed down due to these heavy metals.

After the World Urban Forum in June, I spent a few days on Vancouver island visiting my mother, an avid lifetime gardener who recently moved into a new apartment and for the first time does not have her own backyard.
She has always been an inspiration for my urban gardening projects. It was her who started me tending to a few carnations as a small boy, and I still remember the wonder I felt watching the tiny seeds sprout, then blossom into colourful flowers. Later, as a teenager, she put me to work tilling a significant portion of our yard to grow all kinds of vegetables (which I was even starting to enjoy eating!)
