Community Garden
Rooted in the principles of sustainable agriculture, our Northwestern Ontario arts-driven living lab is a creative, community-based hub for tackling food insecurity through regenerative small-scale farming, intergenerational knowledge transmission, and climate resilience.
Community-Driven Sustainable Agriculture in Northwestern Ontario and Manitoba
Operating across key regions—including Winnipeg, Manitoba, Minnesota, and Northwestern Ontario—our living lab integrates art, ecology, and innovation to strengthen local food systems and inspire action. Combining traditional practices, permaculture, and hands-on education with artistic collaboration, we work to empower communities to co-create sustainable, community-led food solutions that respond to the impacts of climate change, and the need for youth-led initiatives, participatory design, and cross-border partnerships.
