"All Hands Be Together": Newfoundland Gardening

Authors

  • John Omohundro State University of New York College, Potsdam

Abstract

Vegetable gardening persists in rural Newfoundland settlements as they undergo rapid technological, political and economic changes because gardening displays and perpetuates old values such as self-reliance, subsistence skills and family co-operation. Long-term research in northern Newfoundland has shown that it is not the poorest who garden but the proudest, especially the flag-bearers of a traditionalist vision of rural life.
