Grow Nanaimo | Nanaimo Museum

Farming and food security are important topics of conversations today, and in the past. Grow Nanaimo features stories of complex relationships with the land, culturally diverse farmers, and Five Acres, a planned agricultural community now known as Harewood. Take a seat in the outhouse interactive and be privy to the secrets of the night soil scavengers and check out the greenhouse activities. The stories in Grow Nanaimo encourage us to think about ways we have nurtured the land and grown food in the past – how can reflecting on the past inform our discussions today?
