Meet Your Farmer

One of the most amazing parts about agriculture in Nova Scotia is how diverse our farms are! The Godfrey's of Atlantic Gardens farm three acres of greenhouse and nursey crops. They use 100% biomass energy to heat their greenhouses. They grow a wide range of annuals, perennials and other nursey crops. The Godfrey's love farming because it is a privilege to work with family. You can find them online at: atlanticgardens.ca ... Happy Gardening! #MeetYourFarmer #YourFarmersYourNS
