In 2022 Northern Roots developed “Transform Your Yard into a Food Garden” mentorship program. We are partnered with the City of Yellowknife, Detchita Naowo (Yellowknives Dene First Nation) and GNWT Industry, Tourism and Investment (Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Partnership) to offer this mentorship program to community members interested in learning how to be successful in planning, building, and growing a garden that will produce a bountiful harvest. Mentees are actively enhancing their skills to grow develop and grow food gardens as market gardeners and as self-sufficiency gardeners.

Please contact us if you would like to on the wait list for this mentorship program.
