I just moved to Halfmoon Bay, on the Sunshine Coast, and started a vegetable garden in the summer
to enjoy the bounty that Mother Earth has to offer us. I did my research and bought seeds for plants that could be harvested in the summer, fall and even winter. There is currently a Facebook group for my neighbourhood, and there is where I announced my wish to share vegetable seeds with them, and mentioned I would love for them to share photos of their vegetable harvest. This was such a great opportunity for me to meet my neighbours and in addition to exchanging our contact information, we also exchanged vegetables and flowers.

This project was a great conversation piece and kept our neighbourhood connected. There are many senior and elderly people in this neighbourhood, and they would continue to benefit from the added engagement online and in-person as we check-in on one another. I hope to continue this project next year!
