Show Notes
We interview Anne Cole coordinator of volunteers at Silver Spring farm. The Farm was established in 1867 in the Bell's corners area of Ottawa. The original farm is still in place and is now an NCC property. The farm became a residence for adults with developmental disabilities, and then 30 years ago volunteers started to grow garlic in the unused farm fields and that has developed into a huge garlic growing operation. See our website gardens4everybody.com for photos and more information. In a future episode we interview head of garlic operations Mel Jones.
