Planting a garden to save on food costs? A local expert tells you where to start

With the price of food showing very little signs of dropping any time soon, many are thinking about starting a garden to grow their own food.

It was a favourite pandemic-project for many, and is evolving into a necessity for some.

We asked The Garden Coordinator at the Table Community Food Centre, Joanna Kowalczyk about some easier food to grow for first timers.

Lettuce is another favourite.

But she says don’t just jump into it. Mae sure you find out what conditions certain foods like before you plant anything.

She says you can also take part in their Garden Sessions at the Table Monday-Friday between 10 and 2 to find out more. Just visit their website for details by tapping or clicking this link.
