Green City Living

Urban agriculture may sound a little strange and daunting but it has become an important part of living in the city. It allows us to be more self-sufficient and puts fresh, healthy food at our fingertips. Not to mention the satisfaction you get from knowing that the vegetables and herbs you’re eating are cut from plants grown and tended by you!

With spring around the corner, now is the perfect time to start preparing for a new season of planting. If you’re eager to take part but not sure where to begin, Evergreen has a range of resources for you.
