Nothing tastes better than food you’ve grown yourself. Homegrown vegetables are fresher, more nutritious and reduce the environmental impact of store-brought produce. 🌿🌍

Join the Free Spirit Gardens community in 2026! We can’t wait to grow with you.

The Pollinate Collingwood project was happening today at the Cook gardens and the Earthship Community Gardens.
Thanks to all that prepped and participated. Both sites used a Hügelkultur technique that allows for better soil microbiome development as well as moisture retention for health happy native plants!
