Tia Harvey-White estimates her backyard garden saved her family about $20 a week on produce between July and October last year.
That was just one of the many perks of honing her green thumb. Caring for vegetables, herbs and flowers also taught her daughters Alexa and Briella an appreciation for insects, an understanding of where food comes from and a deep respect for nature.
This year, starting the season with a mini-greenhouse in their Winnipeg home has offered even more benefits. Five weeks into social isolation, Harvey-White says watching the seeds sprout is buoying the family’s spirits. “It gives us joy.
It gives us hope. It’s helped us quite a bit.” Cheney Creamer is the chair of the Canadian Horticultural Therapy Association.
