Common Roots – Woodside

Common Roots-Woodside is an urban farm situated on the grounds of the Nova Scotia Hospital, a mental health and addictions hospital.  We use gardening as a way to promote physical, mental and environmental health.  We offer skills training and volunteer opportunities on growing vegetables; make healthy food more accessible to hospital clients, staff and the surrounding community; do gardening programming with clients at the hospital; and create a space for growing food and flowers that’s supportive and welcoming.
