Community gardens play a vital role in making green space accessible to everyone, particularly those in inner city areas where gardens are at a minimum. Such spaces are also a great source of wellbeing through gardening and volunteering opportunities, gatherings and events, places to grow food and help combat climate change, and most importantly connect with nature. In this episode, Stephen Mason, gardener at The Hoxton Trust Community Garden in East London, and a pioneer in growing green spaces for everyone, shares his thoughts about the power of community gardens, the many benefits they provide, and how to set one up.

A couple of hundred years ago, our Planet and our Aotearoa looked quite different.  There were huge forests and wetlands, vast tussock lands and cool, high altitude alpine gardens. Birds and lizards, insects, spiders, fish and native frogs called it their home.  Slowly Homo sapiens started to turn things around; habitats disappeared, mining, urbanisation and an economy that only thinks of growth-at-all-cost.  Of course, some Parliamentarians –like Blind and deaf Freddy– are not always Nature-Literate enough to steer our bit of the planet in the right direction.  Communities and Environmental organisations are doing their thing to restore our Land. I am convinced that, together, they form the largest movement in the world and even Blind and Deaf Freddy never saw that coming.  This is the time to plant our whenua with locally-sourced native trees and shrubs. I'm talking about the Garden, but also about the Earth around us; the reserves; the walks-ways, you name it.  Waiwhakareke Natural heritage Park is a 60 hectare park in the making. On the NW side of Hamilton, near the zoo. It's really a wetland area with Biodiversity of the Hamilton Basin. Waiwhakareke (horseshoe lake) brilliant!  Council, Hamilton Zoo, Waikato Uni all together!  The last few days (Thursday and Friday) schools have been descending on the park; kids of all ages have been planting and my job was to totally disrupt the whole event, by pulling out huge earthworms when the holes were dug.  And Flatworms slithering on the soil substrate.  We discovered beetles and maggots in decaying tree trunks – the biodiversity turned from “Ooooh” and “Yuck!!” to a competition and utter delight. We found toadstools and other fungi; lichens and mosses  We set up a fine-meshed “mist net” to see if we could catch some birds to band with tiny aluminium rings with even tinier numbers on it – that's for the kids who wanted to work for DOC and become scientists.    Today we carry on, not just with kids, but with the Community of Hamilton, to plant and restore this magnificent Garden, which will look like the bush, all those decades ago.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spring officially arrived this week and with it the opportunity for people to get out in the yard to plant a garden.But many are not limiting themselves to that backyard garden; community gardens are growing in the First State, offering benefits you can't get on your own.This week, contributor Eileen Dallalbrida takes a closer look at community gardens in Delaware.

“We know that there are all sorts of good chemicals that come out of the dirt and working with land–working with plants–that are beneficial to our mood and our health. For refugee populations that have had to be on the run or had to live in refugee camps for decades, having a little piece of land that you can tend to that you can take care of and then see the results and not feel like you're gonna be bombed out the next day–it brings a kind of peace of mind and a little bit of healing.”  This week on the show, Tammy Ho, Professor of Gender and Sexuality studies at University of California-Riverside, shares her research about refugees from Burma and their participation in the United States food system. We'll learn about a supermarket sushi mogul, Burmese meatpackers as essential workers, and how a group of refugees saved a failing church by starting a community garden.

In this nourishing episode of Accidental Gods, we delve into the fertile world of seed sovereignty with Katie Hastings and Sinead Fortune of the Gaia Foundation's Seed Sovereignty Programme. Katie, hailing from the lush landscapes of Wales, and Sinead, rooted in the rugged beauty of rural Aberdeenshire, share their passion for reviving ancient grains and fostering communities of growth.Embark on a journey through the tales of black oats, a crop once on the brink of oblivion, now experiencing a renaissance on the cliffs of Pembrokeshire. Discover how these oats, intertwined with the stories of generations, are being brought back into circulation by a vibrant network of farmers, engineers, and chefs, all dedicated to preserving the diversity of our seed heritage.As we explore the practical steps and the profound joy of seed saving, we're reminded that every seed sown is a vessel of potential, a beacon of hope in an ever-changing climate. Katie and Sinead illuminate the path towards a more resilient food system, where local, open-pollinated seeds adapt and thrive, offering unique flavors and a promise of sustainability.This episode is a clarion call to reconnect with the origins of our sustenance, to embrace the community spirit inherent in the cycle of seed to harvest, and to participate in the movement towards a future where our choices at the dinner table also nurture the earth.Whether you're a seasoned grower, a curious gardener with a windowsill plot, or simply someone who cherishes the act of sharing a meal, this conversation is an invitation to join hands in shaping a world where the diversity of our plates reflects the diversity of our landscapes.For those inspired to take root in this revolution, visit the show notes for links to local seed initiatives and resources that will guide you in becoming an integral part of this flourishing movement. Tune in and let the stories of seeds sow inspiration in your heart, as we cultivate a world abundant in flavor, joy, and resilience.Katie's Bio: Katie Hastings is the Wales Coordinator for the Gaia Foundation's Seed Sovereignty Programme, where she works alongside farmers and growers to build a more resilient seed system from the ground up. As part of this work, she facilitates the Wales Seed Hub - a cooperative of agroecological seed growers, and Llafur Ni - a network of people working together to revive rare Welsh oats. Katie is co-founder of the community organisation Mach Maethlon, where she has coordinated a horticultural training programme, food hub and community growing scheme. Katie's seed journey started when she had a mental breakdown and was referred for horticultural therapy by her doctor. She found hope for the future in growing food in community with others. In her free time she swims in her local river and walks her dog up Cadair Idris mountain. Sinead's Bio: Sinéad Fortune is Programme Lead for the Seed Sovereignty Programme, as well as coordinating the programme work in Scotland where she's based. She works with coordinators around the UK and Ireland to support community groups, market gardeners and farmers to train in seed production and to develop and strengthen the connections that make the seed sovereignty movement thrive. Her academic background in Political Ecology focused on food security and community empowerment, and her diverse professional experience spans community food movements, alternative sustainable food production, science education and behaviour change. When Sinéad isn't working in seed sovereignty or willing her crops to grow, she can be found wandering the woods looking for interesting fungi, crafting herbal lotions, potions and remedies, or playing a few tunes on the fiddle.Gaia Foundation https://gaiafoundation.org/Seed Sovereignty www.seedsovereignty.infoSeed Hub Wales https://www.seedhub.wales/about-us/Open Food Network Seed Hub Shop https://openfoodnetwork.org.uk/hwb-hadau-cymru-wales-seed-hub/shopThe momentous black oat feast: https://www.seedsovereignty.info/welsh-oats-back-in-black/Llafur Ni film: https://vimeo.com/489406001Guardian coverage of the Black Oat story: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/28/black-oats-llafur-ni-wales-crops-grains-growers-farmers-aoeKatie's article about the issues with oat processing: https://www.seedsovereignty.info/oat-quest-inching-towards-tasting-our-oats/Recent Oxford Real Farming Conference panel discussion I hosted: https://soundcloud.com/user-775591787/orfc2024-the-story-of-black-oats-lost-and-foundKatie's guide to starting your own seed cooperative: https://www.seedsovereignty.info/so-you-want-to-start-a-seed-coop-week-1-finding-your-varieties/

Penny Kelly is a writer, teacher, author, publisher, consultant, and Naturopathic physician. Early in her career she was an engineer for Chrysler Corporation but left there in 1979 after a full, spontaneous awakening of kundalini to study the brain, consciousness, intelligence, intuition, and cognition. This was followed by 18 years of work as an educational consultant specializing in Accelerated and Brain-Compatible Teaching and Learning, working with both schools and corporations. After purchasing acreage in 1987, she raised grapes for Welch Foods for a dozen years while also building Lily Hill Farm, now a large B&B. She worked with Dr. Wm. Levengood, biophysicist, for 15 years, studying materials from crop circles and animal mutilations, and researching plasma, energy and consciousness. Penny was involved in Community Gardening in Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, MI through grants from the Kellogg Foundation. She was a member of the Tipping Point Network whose focus is sustainability in all sectors of life and has been a Flow Fund recipient through Marion Rockefeller Weber. She maintains a worldwide counseling and coaching practice, teaches online courses in Developing Intuition, and travels widely to speak and teach. Penny holds a degree in Humanistic Studies from Wayne State University and a degree in Naturopathic Medicine from Clayton College of Natural Health.Back in the late 1970s, Penny was an unemployed mother with four children, on Welfare, trying to study for a premed degree when her life literally began to fall apart. Many things happened, not necessarily in this order: she had a series of kundalini experiences got divorced, and suddenly these little men in brown robes began appearing to her in her kitchen, her bedroom, and her living room The visits were designed to show her the future of our planet, keying in on the United States in particular. At first startled by their appearance, with no frame of reference for the experience, other than the rising of her kundalini, she attempted to ignore them. But the pictures they were showing her ultimately could not be ignored. In Kelly's book, The Robes: A book of Coming Changes, we are shown a vision of our future that is imperative to engage, much of which has already come to pass since those visits nearly 40 years ago. Tune into this fascinating show, which not only talks about the future that Penny saw all the way to 2413, but also talks about what we can do to help create and live in a new world based on higher consciousness.Find out more about Penny Kelly at https://pennykelly.com/ Book: Robes: A Book of Coming Changes Learn more about your ad choices.

Organic REV The first thing to understand about REV is that it is not an ordinary humic acid product that is chemically-extracted from leonardite, lignite, or other coals. Rather, it is a 100% naturally-occurring carbon, humic acid & fulvic acid source - along with exceptionally high levels of naturally-occurring microbial biomass that can increase nitrogen efficiency by up to 25%. REV replaces depleted soil carbon & bacterial biomass - and absorbs nutrients to make them more readily available to plants via their root systems.

Carole Wright is the founder of Blak Outside a multi-disciplinary creative collective providing culturally diverse and inclusive events for the community both online and in person. This collective had its beginnings in the Peabody Blackfriars Estate also known as Peabody Square where Carole has lived for many years. Through her extensive knowledge and management of community gardening, she has been able to combine and integrate the collective - whose central theme is about feeling “rooted” - with their involvement in this shared activity which goes well beyond gardening itself. Carole takes me on a tour around the community garden at the Peabody Blackfriars Estate and talks about the More Than A Shed Project, plus plans that are underway for a forest garden at the Brookwood community garden just two minutes walk away. Carole strongly believes in promoting the community gardens for after school activities for the children on the estate, as well as inter-generational activities, and Saturday morning events, creating a space “where people can hang out and feel safe”. Carole talks about the challenges of living on the estate during the lockdown, the increased police presence and, in response, the creation of Blak Outside by the community, for the community. “We like the mash up of cultures here… We've got to have music and food… People, sharing, is so important.” Presently, there's a cultural block around gardening and horticulture. Carole believes this is changing and is therefore very excited for the next generation and the opportunities it may bring for them. “A community gardening project isn't just about gardening, It's about the conversations around it.” To learn more about Blak Outside go to https://blakoutside.org/ Instagram: @blak_outside Facebook: @Blak Outside Twitter: @blak_outside To find out about your podcast host EMMA go to https://www.travellingthrough.co.uk/ A big thanks to MARISKA Martina at https://www.mariskamartina.com/ for creating our wonderful podcast jingle!

In this episode, Mary Sketch Bryant, Jeff Ishee, and Eric Bendfeldt have a conversation with Karen Washington of Rise and Root Farm. Karen Washington was the recipient of the 2014 James Beard Leadership Award and continues to work for food justice, community change, and the overall wellness of the planet for everyone. She shares about the deeply rooted connections of soil health to power, dignity, racial justice, community, and a sense of belonging. As a physical therapist and grower, she reflects on the impact of soil fertility on where people live, where people play, and where people eat. Good soil means good health. Soil is alive and can reconnect people to the history and intergenerational knowledge of agriculture as a starting point for cross-pollinating greater understanding and wellbeing.To learn more about Karen Washington and her ongoing work, please visit https://www.riseandrootfarm.com/. We also encourage you to follow the four core principles of soil health and take the 4 The Soil pledge at https://www.4thesoil.org/take-the-pledge.html

Ideas discussed How has community gardening been transformative? Tell us about working with recently-released incarcerated people Key quotes(On ecojustice)... These issues affect us more than other people. It took a while for church folk to get the therapeutic value of gardening. They wanted to build fences. You want to have the trust of your community. Whatever the penitentiary wants to say, whatever the legal system wants to say, whatever society wants to say, we are still strong, beautiful and gifted children of God, who happen to be Black. The gardens gave them a deeper feeling, a deeper presence of God. But, yes -- it's definitely therapeutic. These are just individuals who wanted to contribute to God's creation. They learned skills and the effects of those skills and they were able to see what God could do, and has done, in their lives.(The church) realized, "this isn't for us, this is for a greater purpose: the common good." What does it mean to be a steward? Success is doing it for a greater purpose. This episode is hosted by Chris Searles, exec. editor, AllCreation.org.
