Common Roots Urban Farm BiHi 🧡🌱 Your community farm! 🌱🧡
BiHi Park, Halifax. We grow in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.

Common Roots Urban farm BiHi is a community farm located at the bottom of Bayers Rd, across from the Bayers Road Centre. We are a multi-use garden with over 100 community allotment plots, a market garden and common gardens and seating areas. During the growing season we run volunteer programs, host groups visits and offer workshops as well as hosting community celebrations.

🫛 Common Roots Urban Farm is full of abundance this year because of our generous sponsors and gardeners.

Thank you to Chamandy Foundation for helping these nutritious radishes grow, and for helping our youth learn the importance of healthy eating and the importance of growing food locally for greater community wellbeing. 🥕

ID: Caption reads: These radishes (and young minds) grew thanks to Chamandy Foundation. Many youth's hands outsstretch, holding fresh local radishes together.
