This project examines the relationships between urban gardens in Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia, and food banks and community kitchens in order to explain how urban gardens address hunger in the city. I am interested in understanding how these relationships reproduce or offer alternatives to charity. How gardeners materially and discursively understand and respond to hunger in the city is a central question of this project. How city governments, nongovernmental organizations and gardening leaders shape and influence these relationships is central to how hunger in the city is addressed.
