TBG Farmers Market Film Festival – In My Backyard
May 25, 2023 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
In My Backyard chronicles director Jamie Day Fleck’s personal journey into backyard vegetable gardening converting her entire suburban backyard into a kitchen garden. Using her personal story as a jumping-off point, she branches out to look at the various solutions that backyard gardeners and urban growers have dreamed up and implemented in her city — Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
By looking at the stories of individuals that are changing their communities through local food production, it becomes evident that positive changes are being implemented and solutions are available. To many people, global environmental problems seem insurmountable but a few people are working diligently to create new paradigms and show bright possibilities within urban spaces.
A better world is right outside your door.
Running Time: 73 minutes | Directed By: Jamie Day Fleck
Thursday, May 25, 7 to 8:30 p.m.
