The Diggers at Six Mile Pub - April 3, 2011
On Sunday the Lifecycles Project (http://lifecyclesproject.c
The owners and kitchen management staff are enthusiastic about the pub growing its own food and have built four amazing 40 foot raised beds. On this day we were here to add topsoil and sow the first Spring seeds of lettuce, radish, turnips, carrots and to plant a few seed potatoes.
The Lifecycles Project is a non-proft group dedicated to education and promoting urban agriculture in Victoria, BC. The Diggers are named after the 15th Century English movement that was started by farmers in protest of the dividing of common lands to private ownership. The Lifecycles Project Diggers are a bunch of volunteers enthusiastic about setting up gardens for other people, organizations or private businesses so they can learn to grow their own food.
Today we had a great brunch to start the day and then had an awesome time putting the vision of the Six Mile Pub into reality. And it didn't rain!
