I'm excited to begin a new partnership - with Greenest City and students from the Parkdale Public Library English as a Second Language program to keep bees in the Milky Way Garden. After an introduction to bees and beekeeping for the ESL class, I met some participants eager to work together to create an apiary in the next year.
The Milky Way Garden is a piece of land donated by artist Stephen Andrews and filmaker John Greyson set to be a community-owned urban agriculture site for hosting environmental projects that increase access to healthy fresh food, while creating opportunities for environmental learning and community connections.
