Meeting Activities: Speaker, Seed Exchange

Guest Speaker: Emma Biggs

Topic: Growing Food in Small Spaces and Containers

Our guest speaker:

Emma Biggs gardens in the city of Toronto, where she is very fortunate to have a large yard, but as most gardeners can relate to, she still wants more growing space. She shares all the ways that she makes use of her limited space, including growing vertically, in containers, in straw bales on her driveway, on the garage rooftop, and more. Emma also shares some of the best crops to grow if you have a limited amount of space.

Emma’s passion is growing tomatoes, trying new, unusual crops, and saving seeds. She has raised over 80 tomato varieties in her Toronto garden in 2022, and loves to try weird and wonderful plant projects. Emma is the co-host of The Food Garden Life Show and her latest book is Gardening with Emma. Find out what Emma has been up to recently on Instagram @emmabiggs_grows.
