On September 10, 2025 we held a harvest celebration to celebrate the gardeners of Russell Road for their success. Like all gardeners this year, they had challenges, but they had much more successes than setbacks. The seedlings from Northern Seeds and Slow Roots Farm grew abundantly.

The gardeners proudly shared their food with each other and with their families. They are saving seeds from their best produce for germination next year.

Thank you to the province of Ontario and the Seniors Community Grant program for your support.

Congratulations to all the gardeners, and to those who were camera shy.
