Local ganja company, Itopia Life, commenced the ‘Get Growing’! campaign. It is an initiative that encourages the public to grow their own food and medicine from scraps and seeds as a sustainable, healthy living practice. It was launched on Labour Day to promote growing tomato, sweet pepper, ganja and other plants at home, with hopes that participants will have better nutrition, and new-found food freedom, by Independence Day!
