A look back at #GrowStronger Gardens with Kubota Canada
Throughout the summer the Canadian Hockey League helped share the #GrowStronger message in partnership with Kubota Canada encouraging Canadians to start their own garden to grow food, grow appreciation, and grow stronger, together.
A trio of CHL players helped highlight the movement by demonstrating that all Canadians can be farmers regardless of property size, space, or gardening experience.
Outfitted by Kubota Canada and given the necessary supplies to get their gardens started at home, Jake Neighbours of the Edmonton Oil Kings, Braden Hache of the Kingston Frontenacs, and Mavrik Bourque of the Shawinigan Cataractes documented their experience while shedding light on the values of gardening, the farming community, and what Canadians can do to #GrowStronger.
“I think it’s awesome,” said Neighbours, who played for Team Red at the 2020 Kubota CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game. “It’s something to do and a lot more purposeful and meaningful when you eat your food and know you grew it yourself.”
As summer comes to a close, so too does the #GrowStronger campaign for @jake_neighbours. Huge thanks to @KubotaCanada for helping with the Victory Garden! 🌱🧑🌾 pic.twitter.com/mvjerRDtXj

“I haven’t had a lot of (gardening) experience throughout my lifetime,” said Hache, a prospect for the 2021 NHL Draft. “But I thank Kubota Canada for giving me the opportunity.”
We've had a lot of fun watching @KingstonFronts defenceman @BradenHache grow his own Victory Garden over the summer ☀️🌱🚿

“I grew up on a farm so it is always nice to learn some more,” said Bourque, who competed for Team White opposite Neighbours in Hamilton. “For me, it’s all fun! Next year I want to use Kubota’s guide and seeds to grow a whole new garden.”
We're a few days after summer, but just a few days away from hockey season. Luckily for @Mavbourque, he was able to #GrowStronger by caring for his @KubotaCanadaLtd garden this off-season, and now he's primed for a big year! 👨🌾💪 pic.twitter.com/oogFiQsMXq
