CORINNE MINTZ – In my life I have had many gardens, in many varying circumstances and conditions. I have carved out a small patch of earth for a garden by the side of the Pacific Ocean on Vancouver Island. I have worked on organic herb and vegetable farms. I have grown tomatoes and zucchinis in buckets on my balcony and driveway. Let’s keep in mind I grew up as a city kid with little to […]
GÜNTHER SCHUBERT – Back in 2016, Carlotta James, an ultra marathon runner, a forward thinking and passionate mother kept noticing a huge decline of butterflies and bees in the environment while out running our beautiful Kawartha trails.
