🧡🌱 Your community farm! 🌱🧡
BiHi Park, Halifax. We grow in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.

Common Roots Urban farm BiHi is a community farm located at the bottom of Bayers Rd, across from the Bayers Road Centre. We are a multi-use garden with over 100 community allotment plots, a market garden and common gardens and seating areas. During the growing season we run volunteer programs, host groups visits and offer workshops as well as hosting community celebrations.

🥬 Our gardens at Common Roots Urban Farm have provided the HRM community with a fabulous harvest this year, and it’s thanks to the generous donations from supporters like the Edwards Family Foundation.

Thank you for helping more urban community members gain access to garden space and fresh, local produce! 🥕

🫛 Common Roots Urban Farm is full of abundance this year because of our generous sponsors and gardeners.

Thank you to Chamandy Foundation for helping these nutritious radishes grow, and for helping our youth learn the importance of healthy eating and the importance of growing food locally for greater community wellbeing. 🥕

ID: Caption reads: These radishes (and young minds) grew thanks to Chamandy Foundation. Many youth's hands outsstretch, holding fresh local radishes together.

Rainy days are perfect for posting sunny day pics! We are enjoying the cool September mornings. The garden is still full of food and the sunflowers are still blooming. Glad we got some radish seeds in before the wet weather today!
