When Hamilton's McQuesten Neighbourhood Association contacted OAC to help create an urban farm, Professor Karen Landman and the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) design studio responded by creating a visioning workshop for the project. City staff, residents and students worked together to generate ideas for a seven-acre 'food park' that includes community gardens, learning opportunities for schoolchildren, a community oven, an aboriginal garden, a market garden, a picnic area and a dedicated area for a full-time farmer. Months later, the project is underway, with the City dedicating $350,000 to the creation of this green space.
