About this listen

The Community Garden Podcast was inspired by a desire to provide accessible gardening knowledge to gardeners of all skill levels. At Equal Ground Community Gardens (EGCG), we believe that everyone can benefit from learning how to grow their own food gardening, whether they're just starting out or have years of experience. Hosted by Taylor, EGCG's Greenhouse and Learning Centre Coordinator, the podcast offers valuable food garden education to the southern Ontario community. Taylor brings her expertise and passion for gardening to each episode, engaging with local gardeners, farmers, and organizations to share their stories and tips. Each week, tune in for engaging interviews with gardeners of varying skill levels and experiences, from beginners to master gardeners. Whether you're looking for practical tips, inspiring stories, or expert advice, you'll find something useful, and relatable in every episode. This podcast is primarily funded by the City of Brantford through the Brant Community Foundation.Copyright 2025 Equal Ground Community Gardens Biological Sciences Science
