Passion N Place

This month we talk with Kane Hogan aka The Urban Gardner who is passionate about creating sustainable local food eco-systems, enhancing food security and community well-being. He has been working on developing the gardens at No. 37 Community House, hosting weekly gardening classes where people are invited to come together, potter in the garden and develop seed raising, composting and permaculture skills.

He has a background of running The Urban Gardner as a social enterprise with his ex-partner in Oxford, New Zealand and has developed his skills through the Koanga Institute and various other permaculture initiatives. He’s passionate about creating sustainable, resilient food eco-systems and connecting communities to become more caring and self-sufficient. Alongside this he’s a talented singer/songwriter and a natural philosopher, during our chat we talked about finding our passions and purpose, developing meaningful connections in our community and how we might empower sustainable communities in the future.
