I'll Farm Your Lawn


"I'm not a millionaire but I feel like one," declares Gabriel Pliska. This Vancouver, B.C. urban farmer gives a tour of a residential front yard garden, including planted boxes in the boulevard strip beside the curb. Several homeowners provide him yard space and water for cultivating veggies, flowers, herbs, wildlife habitat and beauty. They receive beautifully tended gardens all year round (and some produce, too!) Gabriel harvests veggies for CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) boxes and sells the surplus at a weekly growers market. Gabriel's "hyper-local" enterprise is achieved almost entirely on bike. We finish with images of his "guerrilla garden" on an unused railway spur, accompanied by a music track of with his own lyrics "Garden Nostalgia." Episode 298.
