Artan Gardens is an arts and horticultural organization. We are committed to growing more nutritious food and rejuvenating the environment. Together, with friends, colleagues, schools, business ambassadors, Government and local food groups we can Cultivate Creative Culture within urban centers. Join and support our nation-wide program to grow and propagate heirloom seeds: Seed Your City to Feed Your City. This unique program blends the Arts with Horticultural education. We provide heirloom seeds and step-by-step guides on how to grow them with an interactive planting and growing curriculum. Seed Your City gives everyone the opportunity to grow their own produce, feed their city, and create stunning edible landscapes.
People need to grow to eat. There is a huge need for more food banks and soup kitchens; local food security is a pressing issue within our urban centers.
“Seed Your City” will play a unique role in creating Seed Bank systems to Feed people within the community. We will ensure a continuous supply of healthy, non-genetically modified produce to feed our fellow Canadians.
Raised funds and seeds gathered from the program are traded within schools and community parks for planting and creating Art & Garden Spaces. There are various methods for growing ecologically sound food, which compared to industrial methods, can be more sustainable, nutritious and tasty. “Seed Your City” creates vital systems for people who actively grow their community. Everyone can be part of the movement.
