I don't think I have been on a walk through Cuthbert-Holmes Park in five years. Got to see these little ones there today. Park looks great too. #yyj #victoriabc #owls

I sowed 500 sativa/indica/hemp seeds all across downtown #VictoriaBC public gardens & traffic boulevards over the past 2 weeks. I hope at least 1/4 root strong & provides for the peoples in our community ✌️I'm sowing more, every 2-3 weeks until September.

I want everyone to be able to have food/flower plants to nurture. For folks who can't afford to buy plants - it's important for me to give them away. I know how expensive it can get if you have to buy all your seeds/plants. My goal with sharing free plants is to make food/flowers growing more accessible to everyone. I also help fellow disabled folks set up their gardening spaces so it's easier for them to grow plants. I have been doing that for free, for years. #Gardening can be inclusive & accessible to all.
