Laura Donefar has been a driving force in Canadian Glass Art for over 20 years, and has loved gardening for even longer.  An internationally renowned glass artist, teacher and diva she lives and creates from her home studio near Harrowsmith, ON.  She is a fierce fan of Kale and that is what she will be growing for Grow a Row.   She challenges all Kingston and area artists to get their hands dirty in the garden for Grow a Row this year.

Helen is the award-winning author of four books of poetry, five novels, and one work of creative non-fiction. She was born in Kingston-on-Thames, England, and now lives in Kingston, Ontario with her new puppy, Charlotte.  She has dreams of an orchard of fruit trees but for now, promises to grow something more modest for Grow a Row.

Starting Saturday, June 12, the Loving Spoonful will be at the Kingston Public Market every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 2-4pm.  Come visit our booth to learn more about the Grow a Row campaign, or to drop off extra produce from your garden!  Food donations will be distributed to local meal programs and the foodbank.

Starting June 8, join Loving Spoonful staff and volunteers at the Acorn Garden (located at the Oak Street Community Garden) every Tuesday from 4-6pm!  These workbees are the perfect opportunity to learn about gardening, to share your gardening wisdom with others, and to help grow produce that will be donated to local meal programs and food banks.
