The Seed Lady

Welcome to the fun, healthy and eco-conscious world of urban gardening.

Nancy’s passion for urban gardening began in childhood, helping a neighbour who had the most amazing backyard garden. She hoped that one day they might also have a big backyard garden, just like it. Sadly, that was not to be – however, Nancy set about learning how to create a garden where none existed. Through trial and error and time with Indigenous Elders, Nancy learned how to grow food indoors, and other awkward spaces. She made use of community gardens when they were accessible, and took to the nearby woods and meadows.

Later, Nancy to grow as much produce as possible in a postage-stamp sized garden in their townhouse. There were no real resources to teach them what worked best in small, awkward city spaces, so it was mainly trial and error.
