Our neighbors at the Youth Empowerment and Social Services (YESS) have started a community garden. It's across the street from the YESS building on Whyte Ave and is called the Urban Roots garden (URG).

URG is free and open to the community, is also meant to be a safe space for the youth. There is an art station, drums and a piano to play music as well as benches to sit and think.

​For more information on the garden click here to read the news article.
