Event Description

YOUR INVITED!

To come and volunteer your muscles, brains and hearts to the Purple Thistle Collective

Gardeners great food forest plant on Sunday March 4th at 12pm.

The Purple Thistle Gardeners spent a lot of time and sweat getting the ground ready last year,

researching and ordering trees...and now we're ready to plant a big load of fruit and nut trees -

but we really need your help. There will be lots of food and other goodies to keep your belly full

and body warm!

The site is located in an unlikely industrial district of the East End of Vancouver, on Charles

street where it crosses Vernon Drive just a few blocks down from the Purple Thistle. The

planting of these trees is the second phase of our project on this site. We will continue to plant

other bushes, flowers, and food producing plants in addition to our plans to create some naturally

built cob structures that will help the site become a functional community space as well.

The Purple Thistle Gardening group is a collective gardening group that is committed to learning

through engaging in gardening, reclamation, and wild crafting projects. We are youth focused,

but happy to have anyone of any age come and join us. For more information please contact

Marla at marlarenn@gmail.com or call her at (604) 788-3995.

When: Sunday March 4th, 12pm - 5pm

Where: the corner of Vernon Drive and Charles Street, East Vancouver
