Event Description

Learn about the eight plant families the majority of garden vegetables fall into, in this Westside Neighbourhood Food Network workshop with Karen Ageson from Farmers on 57th. Knowing plant families & their characteristics simplifies garden planning and plant identification, as well as pest, disease and soil health management. We'll have the West Point Grey Village Vancouver Community Seed Library present - pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate seeds. Advanced registration recommended.

Cost: $7, free for seniors 50 years old and up
