An artist and social and environmental activist, Roberta moved to Wortley Village from Victoria in 2010 and created a circular rain garden where the front lawn used to be, that has a berm covered in perennial flowers to attract and benefit pollinators. Over the years, she has developed her property to utilize every available sunny space to grow a wide and abundant variety of vegetables and herbs in the small urban lot. A founding member of London Urban Farmers, a new group for local gardeners to share tips and the experiences of growing food in their yards, and to advocate for local food sustainability (growing instead of importing), Roberta recently participated in their Urban Farm Tour where members invited people to tour their gardens and learn about organic practices, soil management, extending the Canadian growing season, managing pests (like squirrels!), maximizing space with vertical gardens, containers and greenhouses, and more. For recipes and tips on gardening, harvesting, storing, canning and more, follow London Urban Farmers on Facebook. The group plans a tour in 2026 – watch for announcements!
