Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
http://floralandhardyedibleplants.com/
This little store has books, Westcoast Seeds, music playing all the time, and organic edible plants. Somehow in the middle of all that it's a flower shop so you can give a posie to your sweetie, as well.
Everything in there is healthy as well as beautiful.
It's on Lonsdale at 19th St., pretty close to Lion's Gate Hospital.
I wanted a gift for a radical urban farmer friend of mine, and the guidebook recommended by Ruth, the owner, was a real hit! There are colour photos of all the plants, so he can take it hiking and know what he's looking at, in the moment.

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
