A Vancouver Island-based charity that grows fresh vegetables hydroponically for food-share programs has secured an indoors space at Glenlyon Norfolk Junior School.
The partnership between Harvest and Share and the private school in Oak Bay, B.C., allows the non-profit to grow much-needed fresh food year round.
"I’ve been doing this for a number of years," said Allan Murr, president of Harvest and Share. "It just seemed like it was time to kind of pass my knowledge on to the kids," With the move indoors, Murr is not only hoping to grow more food to share with those in need, but also he's hoping to refine his technique which will allow his organization to take on a larger space.
