Join West End Neighbourhood Food Network and Village Vancouver at our monthly family friendly gatherings. Bring something yummy and share some good food and conversation with neighbours. We'll have a seed library there - you can get some free seeds for your garden, or swap or donate seeds or plants. Each month we present a mini-workshop on a different food and/or gardening related topic - this month we'll be exploring Intercultural Food Sources in the West End. Do you know or have a favourite store around our neighbourhood that stocks ethnic foods? Together we can learn more about these great resources.
This month also marks the launch of the Food Network's WE Seniors Garden Club. Join us in exploring possibilities for creating a new community garden and other gardening spaces in the West End. We will also be organizing food and gardening workshops and other activities. All ages welcome!
