Partnership underscores importance and awareness of local food security
Former flower beds at Nanaimo’s city hall and at Beban Park have been turned into vegetable gardens to promote the local food movement. Three partners are involved in the demonstration projects. “This is a huge recognition of the importance of food and it will help move our community toward being self-sufficient,” Jessica Snider, executive director of Nanaimo’s Community Gardens Society, told the Nanaimo Daily News.
We’re joined in the studio by Marjorie Stewart, board chair of Nanaimo Foodshare Society, Gail Pasaluko, horticulture supervisor for City of Nanaimo, and by Lee Sanmiya of Nanaimo Community Gardens Society.
