Introducing the Garden Mama Growing Blog

Over the years I have worn many hats that suited the many transitions life has offered. Environmental activist, business graduate, administrator, event planner, social entrepreneur, community builder, mother, gardener and food security advocate among them. But before any of these things I loved to write and it’s a passion I’ve lost touch with over the years, recently rekindled like the warm sun that brings forth spring.

How I store my personal seed collection!
You can find them as “photo cases” on Amazon or at some Michael’s locations.

What I aspire towards with the Garden Mama Growing blog is to blend these facets of experience and skills in a way that I am sharing the joy and excitement I feel every time I learn about or participate in something that gets hands in the dirt and growing food. These blog posts will also become highlighted content on my monthly newsletter along with more timely information like upcoming events both virtually and in person within the Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands region, employment opportunities, grant deadlines, and whatever other awesome leads I can bring to your inbox for a regular dose of inspiration to be a part of a food growing movement beyond our own backyard gardens.

If you haven’t signed up for the newsletter yet, you can right here for the launch on February 2nd!

Success! You're on the list.

I’m Selena, and I’m a Garden Mama

Are you inspired by people and projects that are growing a food secure future? Do you love to garden and produce your own food? Do you feel strongly that agriculture should be a part of school education? Do you want to learn more about how to engage with community initiatives that nurture and nourish resilient food systems and local food sources? 

This is a place where I share stories about school and community garden projects, farmers markets, heirloom seed companies, nonprofit organizations, backyard gardening, regenerative agriculture, seed libraries, seed and garden related events, educational opportunities, and more as we grow together.

Join my Facebook community Let’s Get Growing Canada! to connect with folks doing the awesome work that is making this world a better place by growing food locally and sustainably.
