International Women’s Day is the perfect time to dig into a brand-new report on something that preoccupies many women: ensuring people around them can eat sufficient, healthy, appealing food. The report is based on local research that considers how mothers living on low incomes in Peterborough feed their families AND the kinds of support provided by local, mostly women-organized community food programs (like Peterborough community gardens, A Taste of Nourish, Nourish Havelock, Peterborough Gleans, JustFood, Come Cook With Us, and Collective Kitchens).
In 2017, through dinners, workshops, and harvest trips, Nourish and its partners nurtured opportunities for growing connections through food. Our belonging work is firmly rooted in the belief that food has the power to transform our everyday lives and bring communities together. As one workshop participant put it, “creating a shared culture is possible through food.” We all need to eat, and when we eat together, we’re healthier and happier.
Nourish is working with two students from the Trent Community Research Centre to gain some more information about local gardeners. Whether you grow in a community garden, in your front or backyard, or your boulevard, we would like to hear from you!
Dreaming of spring? Wanting to learn more about getting a Community Garden started? Or, how to get the most out of your garden plot this season? We can help!
Join us for these upcoming sessions. All workshops are FREE, and held at Peterborough Public Health - 185 King St, we ask that people please register through the links below
