East Van Teaching Garden
Is a community garden of sorts... We can learn and experiment there...it is very wet, a main consideration, as well as asthetics, being in the front yard, we need to keep it neat. Rows and rows of rows. And the flower of life.

Here is our original proposal for a new community collaborative garden in Riley Park near Little Mountain Neighbourhood House.  First proposed by a Villager living just a half block away, this was picked up as a project by a local permaculture class, adopted by a board member of Little Mountain Neighbourhood House, and remains tied up in an application process with the City of Vancouver.  

Some day.  Some way.

Application to the City for a New Community Garden (original dated March 2011, with this version submitted November 2011)

If you inadvertently apply aminopyralid-laced manure compost to your garden, you may suffer the crop-killing consequences for three or more years.

Not sure where you're located but you might want to check out your local community garden and see if they could give you some compost worms from their bins.  They may have other stuff too.

Hello!  We are looking for some fairly drought-tolerant vines for a community garden/beekeeping project... something like honeysuckle or grape.  If you have any that need homes please let me know, hmjcarpendale@hotmail.com  Thanks!
