Profile Information
- In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
- Kitsilano
- Please tell us which areas of Transition interest you. For example: growing more food/urban agriculture, relocalizing our economy/local currency, Permaculture, transit, energy efficient buildings, the arts, urban homesteading, preserving seed diversity, placemaking, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...
- apiculture, gardens designed specifically for pollinators
- There's a saying that "Transition is not a spectator sport". It's true! Village Vancouver runs on people power, and engaging in activities and projects together helps us accomplish more. Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with? And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)
- I'm a semi-retired software developer... currently working part time as Database Administrator for the Encyclopedia of Life project. At the moment, my primary interests are apiculture and bee gardens.
- What would you like to see improved in Vancouver or in your community regarding sustainability or resiliency? Do you have an idea for a new Transition project or activity?
- I've been experimenting on a VERY small scale, with growing a bee garden in planters on my patio. (I live in a condo) After visiting City Farmer's bee garden, I decided to see what I could create on-the-cheap. So I planted store-bought carrots, radishes and garlic cloves - the goal being to expand it every year until I had a good quantity of veggies that appeal to pollinators. Eventually I plan to blog my findings, and encourage other city dwellers to create their own patio veggie-bee-gardens.
- I agree to read and abide by the Site Guidelines under the About tab on the navigation bar, remaining respectful in all communications on this web site.
- Yes
