Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

Hi everyone

Just to let you know, we applied for a Greenest City grant to turn chafer beetle lawns into growing spaces. The grant will focus on high visibility lots with obvious chafer beetle damage. We'll be looking for volunteers once we obtain grant approval in June.

Don't worry if you're not able to garden but are still interested, we'll have some spots for those who'd love a front yard garden but can't do the physical work.

Attached is a copy of the grant for those interested.Greenest%20City%20Neighbourhood%20Application%202011-2%20%282%29.doc

What a great idea!
Sorry everyone, but we didn't get this one. Not to worry, we'll be working on other projects to get those lawn conversions into the public eye!
