MLA Students Help Create Urban Farm for McQuesten Neighbourhood
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.
