Event Description

Join WE Neighbourhood Food Network and Village Vancouver at our monthly family friendly gathering. Bring something yummy and share some good food and conversation with neighbours. We'll have a seed library there - pick up some free seeds for your garden, or swap or donate seeds or plants.This month's mini-workshop is "Bee Herbs" - Basil, Bergamot and Borage.

The Food Network's WE Urban Garden Club meets from 2:30-3:30 after the potluck/workshop. Join us in exploring possibilities for creating a new community garden and other gardening spaces in the West End. This month's topic is It's time to start thinking about Planting Winter Veggies. We'll also hear from our Seed Saver and WeBee groups, discussing potential new workshops and activities, and giving out Mason Bee Boxes (limited number available).
