Stéphane Couturier is a teacher in a Moncton school who thinks children need to learn to garden because it’s a basic skill for independence. When we went looking for someone who knew how to garden with hugelkultur, his name came up.
Thank you so much to New Brunswick Government’s Wellness Movement for a Community Food Action grant and to Pays de Cocagne Sustainable Development Group (GDDPC) for their support.

Brian Pond is a true ambassador for the beekeeping community. He takes every opportunity to get people into bees including a kiosk at the local market where he has a display of live bees in a glass case for people to examine. In this video he took us to his hives and his honey processing shop in Mckees Mills.

Alicia Clarkson is the garden coordinator for the Peter McKee Community Garden in Moncton, NB. When she started there were just a few boxes, but now the parking lot is full and there is greenhouse and potting shed and more. She says most of her job is teaching people every aspect of gardening. Listen as she tells us about how to be an urban farmer.

Conservation de semences avec Norbert Robichaud
After spending time with Norbert Robichaud, we understood how seed saving is not just about saving seeds to grow next next. It is about preserving culture. We were grateful for his insights into this most important practice.
As always, we are grateful to New Brunswick Government’s Wellness Movement for a Community Food Action grant and to Pays de Cocagne Sustainable Development Group (GDDPC) for their support.
