GRIN GRANT 2022
The Cathedral Community Fridge Garden
The 2022 GRIN recipient was The Cathedral Community Fridge Garden. RHS provided the funds necessary for a plot in the Cathedral Community Gardens to be planted, harvested, and processed, and distributed by the folks behind the Cathedral Community Fridge. Congratulations to all involved, and especially Michelle Dakiniewich, Robyn Rechenmacher, Jesse Pruden and Brianna Kroner who came to share the Winter Social evening with us. What these community builders did was (no pun intended) ground breaking! Their presentation was informative and inspiring, and outlined the serious work and a collaborative spirit it took for their idea to become such a success. It is no secret that now more than ever, food security is an important aspect when considering quality of life. Their project can be replicated in other neighbourhoods, providing hope and resilience in challenging times. From nutritional needs to the social aspect of “breaking bread”, reinvigorating the urban garden experience can only benefit Regina’s citizens.
