Need some help in getting started. Any advice would be great. If anyone doesn't mind in coming over to my place to help get me started, that would be great. I could visit established gardens, etc. I live in Dunbar 604-228-1599 or cell 778-231-4014. I'd be able to help out with any 'community gardening' going on.

Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?: Dunbar

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...: I just retired and was thinking of getting involved in urban agriculture, starting with my own property (help with that), community gardens - I have to tell you I'm a total 'rookie' in this. I'm also becoming more interested in biking.

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 certainly could help out with manual labour, my skill set is not high!

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

Welcome to Village Vancouver. We have Dunbar Neighbourhood Group as well, that you can register with under the Village tab at the top of the page.

We will be doing a lot of things around gardening and food production/preparation. This weekend we've got a pocket market going at Julia Smith's place at 5930 Blenheim St. Why don't you come by and we can talk a bit more.

Cheers. Ann Pacey (co convenor DNT)
