The Community Garden Podcast

Written by: Equal Ground Community Gardens
  • Summary

  • The Community Garden Podcast was inspired by a desire to provide accessible gardening knowledge to gardeners of all skill levels. At Equal Ground Community Gardens (EGCG), we believe that everyone can benefit from learning how to grow their own food gardening, whether they're just starting out or have years of experience. Hosted by Taylor, EGCG's Greenhouse and Learning Centre Coordinator, the podcast offers valuable food garden education to the southern Ontario community. Taylor brings her expertise and passion for gardening to each episode, engaging with local gardeners, farmers, and organizations to share their stories and tips. Each week, tune in for engaging interviews with gardeners of varying skill levels and experiences, from beginners to master gardeners. Whether you're looking for practical tips, inspiring stories, or expert advice, you'll find something useful, and relatable in every episode. This podcast is primarily funded by the City of Brantford through the Brant Community Foundation.

    Join Equal Ground Community Gardens as we chat with Keith and Robyn from Branching Out Brantford (and other essential organizations within the city). These changemakers chat with Taylor about an organization they operate that supports fruit tree owners and harvest sharing, as well as other organizations that focus on community connections and food sharing.
