This year I had a mission to motivate Canadian’s to grow their own food as a part of that mission I’m pleased to launch Elevated Eats at Yorkdale Shopping Centre, an urban farm that will serve as an educational resource for area youth.

In this Cityline segment, Frankie shows us which plants are garden bullies and should be avoided to keep your gardening, easy!
