The Regina Food Bank is best known as a place that collects and distributes food, but now it's growing its own — and in a big way.
This week the agency officially launched its Four Seasons Urban Agriculture Project in its new greenhouse.
It consists of 48 garden "towers" being used to grow broccoli, Chinese cabbage and other vegetables.
The food bank says it will be able to grow healthy food for its clients and community partners 12 months of the year.
