Case Studies
Meet Kathy
An avid gardener, Kathy loved sharing seeds from her garden with friends and family. This simple idea has bloomed into a vibrant project that is giving back to her community.
Kathy is a previous participant in Centacare Evolve Housing’s Inspiring Future Leaders program. She has paired her passion and knowledge of gardening with the skills and support she received in Inspiring Future Leaders to create a thriving seed library.
Food security for those in her local area is at the forefront of this project. Because of this, Seed for a Feed focuses on people growing edible plants such as fruit, vegetables, and some flowers.
“It’s cheaper If you can grow your own food” says Kathy, “especially right now when everything is so expensive”.
Seed for a Feed is a free seed library where both experienced and beginner gardeners can take some seeds to grow at home and, if they are able, add seeds from their garden to the library collection.
Current seeds in the library include tomato, carrot, pumpkin, cucumber, beetroot and other summer favourites. Kathy is hoping that more seeds will be donated with the summer gardening season coming to an end.
You can find Kathy’s Seed for Feed library at the Bridgewater Community House, Botanical Institute, and at the Centacare Evolve Housing office in Bridgewater.
Kathy’s Seed for a Feed library is just one of many Inspiring Future Leaders projects that are making positive change in local communities.
