Monica Mussa and Immigrant Settlement Association

Immigrant Settlement Association: This summer the Immigrant Settlement Association is helping seed the fourth garden in four years. The Mosaic Ministries, an independent church on Willett Street in Halifax, donated the land. , according to CBC. Monica Mussa fled war-torn Congo just seven months ago. She says the plot of land isnt big, but even half a row in the middle of a city is a welcome thing. Refugees accustomed to growing their own food in their home countries are finding garden space in their newly adopted Halifax neighbourhood. Many of the gardeners are from the South Asian country Bhutan, a Buddhist nation where prosperity is measured by the happiness of its people. The Bhutanese were the driving force behind the first garden on city land next to a bus stop. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
