With the help of the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission, the Salvation Army in the South End now has a garden and is growing much of its own food.
Karen Powell is overseeing the program and she tells CHSJ News the garden has really taken off.
They’re already eating the lettuce and waiting for the beet greens, carrots and peas.
Powell says the residents have taken ownership and are also learning better eating habits.
She’s hoping the garden will become a permanent fixture.
