Description: The Garden is an innovative farm in Canada's Pacific Southwest. It focuses on developing resource-efficient systems for greenhouse and orchard production. It applies regenerative practices for on-farm nutrient cycling. The farm operates a small-scale anaerobic digester, has extensive rainwater catchment, and assesses progress with on-farm analysis of soil and plants using Soil Food Web microscopy, brix, and off-farm leaf sap analysis.
