Canada: Yellowknife food garden workshops are an instant hit
Workshops promising to “turn your yard into a food garden” have no spaces left, days after being first promoted by the City of Yellowknife and Northern Roots.

Lone Sorensen’s food skills business, Northern Roots, has partnered with the city to offer workshops on the likes of seed selection, understanding soil and composting, how to plant and care for seedlings, and harvesting and preserving crops.
The workshops will take place in March and April.
“It’s almost a movement that’s being created right here, just from people really wanting to do this, and it has been a growing trend,” Sorensen said.
“It’s good for Yellowknife that we’re so committed to learning more about how to feed ourselves in small ways. Maybe with time, as we get hopefully more access to land, we can feed ourselves in bigger ways as well.”
Sorensen said all spaces have been filled since the workshops were first announced on February 17. She said she may need to put on a separate workshop in April, but that has not yet been finalized.
“There is such a fantastic amount of interest this year,” she said, “for beginning that transformation of your yard – that may not provide any joy or any abundance for people – to try to begin to transform, and begin to grow more things.”
Sorensen explained that last year, she built a market garden (one that grows vegetables for customers) and city councillors invited to visit seemed inspired by all of the plants.
