We're having a seed packet folding party on Sunday, April 7th from 2:30-3:30pm at the fieldhouse.
Goal: create over a thousand new seed packets for our community seed libraries (we now have 22 libraries around the city) by the end of the month. Next seed party: Sunday, April 29th 2-4 pm in Kits.
We'll have the fieldhouse community seed library present - pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate seeds.
Before the seed party, we'll be gardening at our Cottonwood plots from 1:30-2:30. New gardeners welcome!
After the seed party, we'll be holding our 2018 Gardening & Permaculture Opportunities Info Session from 3:30-4:30. Looking for a place to garden? We have several collaborative gardens around Vancouver, and room for 10-12 new gardeners.
Our healthy, local food and gardening residency at the Strathcona Park Field House offers a variety of affordable food and community based programming at the fieldhouse, Strathcona Community Centre, and elsewhere.
This activity is part of Village Vancouver's Building Community Food Security and Resilience Project.This project is made possible by the BC Ministry of Agriculture's Grow Local program. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Agriculture.
