Urban Farm Day, RVA
Shake the hand that feeds you... Richmond's Farm Tour Day took us down to 'my' farm on the southside and the girls picked plenty for supper and we sweltered through an amazing tour of Ugandan compost and hydroponic beds that re-used paddling pools and giant refuse buckets.
Tricycle Garden's ambition is to change food culture by improving access to supplies in the food deserts of the city's east end, coupled with educating kids, including ours, to value things that are grown near home. Now mine want to play truant on Wednesdays and join me.
PS: Named for the bikes they unearthed when clearing land for their first allotments aka community garden in Church Hill.
