Résumé

The Rainbow Community Gardens in Winnipeg, Manitoba, is a community project that supports immigrant and refugee families and helps them to grow their own food. The photos and accompanying text that make up this photo essay examine the role of food and community gardens as a means of expressing cultural identity, and the possible benefits of the Gardens in terms of building community, learning new skills, and growing culturally appropriate foods that can contribute to people’s health and food security. These benefits, and the mission of the Gardens, have gained new relevance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on gardening, food systems, and marginalized groups in Canada.
