Marpole-Oakridge Neighbourhood Food Network presents this workshop covering the basics of planning, preparing and starting a food garden. You'll learn some simple techniques from Rhiannon Johnson for starting plants indoors and in the garden, tailored to your space. Be rewarded with the taste of freshly grown veggies this season! We'll have the Community Seed Library there - pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate seeds.
