GROWING UP
SECOND TIME AROUND
Raised bed gardens make it easy to grow your own food practically anywhere without needing a huge space. Not only is it a way of eating healthy and knowing where your food is coming from, it’s but it’s also a good thing to do for your body and your mind. Plus it’s also a great family and kids activity to be shared.
It’s no surprise that thrifting is more popular than ever. It’s affordable, entertaining, and fun to shop for pre-loved clothing, household goods, books, estate jewellery and/or furniture. Explore local vintage and secondhand stores, flea markets, overstock stores or garage sales. Good for the environment, good for charitable causes and good for the pocketbook, thrifting is a win-win situation.
