As the temperature climbs, green thumbs are itching to get out into their gardens. But those who use community plots are out of luck, unless the province eases up on restrictions. “It’s totally closed,” said Gareth Hudson, St.
Andrew’s Community Garden Chair. Normally, the garden in Ajax would be filled with people getting their plots ready for the season.
Instead, however, it sits vacant. “As you look around the garden you will see that last year’s planting is all coming back up — this is garlic,” said Hudson, who has been growing food at St.
Andrew’s Community Garden for the last four years. “I’ve been planting extra to share with people, share with my neighbours, share with people that can’t get out,” said Hudson.
