According to Wikipedia: ”Herbs have long been used as the basis of traditional Chinese herbal medicine, with usage dating as far back as the first century CE and before. Medicinal use of herbs in Western cultures has its roots in the Hippocratic (Greek) elemental healing system, based on a quaternary elemental healing metaphor.” With such a long history of use, herbs most certainly have a place in the survival garden.

Carrot City is a research initiative that explores how design can enable the production of food in cities. It examines the relationships between design and urban food systems according to five categories: City, Community & Knowledge, Housing, Rooftops and Components for growing. Building on a 2008 symposium Carrot City was conceived by students and faculty at the Department of Architectural Science, Ryerson University, as an exhibit held in early 2009 at the Design Exchange in Toronto.
Since then, the initiative has expanded into a traveling exhibit that has been shown at a number of venues around North America, Europe and Africa. To date, content from this exhibit has been translated into French and Arabic. A book by the curators, based on the exhibit, was published by The Monacelli Press in September of 2011.

Vegetables: Selecting your veggies before you design your garden will help ensure you have the correct amount of room and the best growing conditions.

La récolte des fruits urbains : une initiative écologique et citoyenne | Les projets des écostagiaires. Par Ruth Ainsworth, éco-stagiaire à Montréal Né en juin 2011 de l’engagement d’une poignée de bénévoles, le collectif Les Fruits Défendus est le premier groupe de récolte de fruits urbains à Montréal. Abrité et soutenu par le Santropol Roulant, ce projet communautaire vise un développement concrètement durable permettant aux Montréalais de s’approvisionner gratuitement en fruits frais et locaux. En échange, les propriétaires d’arbres fruitiers participant bénéficient d’un service gratuit de cueillette et de nettoyage. Inspiré par des projets similaires partout en Amérique du Nord, j’ai fondé ce projet avec quelques amis. Le programme Éco-stage me permet de consacrer assez de temps cet été pour établir le projet d’une manière permanente et durable.
