Coming soon in …  <em>alive</em>: March 2017

In March, we’re going to get growing!

It may be early in the season for some of us to actually start planting seeds, but there’s nothing stopping us from planting the seeds of ideas. From fleeting thoughts of fancy often come lasting inspirations.

In our March 2017 issue of alive, we’ll be talking to some innovative growers, like Michael Ableman, co-founder and director of a unique urban street farm venture that has grown since its beginnings in 2009 into a thriving multi-farm enterprise that employs local residents of the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.

Irene McGuinness, recipe developer and cook extraordinaire-turned-farmer, provides us with some lessons learned about building a prosperous hobby farm and shares some of the delicious rewards of her labour in her own garden-to-table recipes.

Carol Pope, expert organic gardener, shares some unique inspirations for space-constrained wannabe gardeners, and Nikki Bayley takes us on a tour of farm-to-table restaurants to share their locavore inspirations.

We talk about personal growth, through grit, resilience, and perseverance, and we’ll also focus on health subjects close to men’s hearts, with plenty for the men to share with the women in their lives too.
