Event Description

As anyone who's ever gardened before knows, pests can sometimes be a real problem in the garden (and can be particularly discouraging if you're a new gardener). In this Village Vancouver, Fairview False Creek South Neighbourhood Food Network workshop with Karen Ageson from Farmers on 57th, you'll learn various ecologically sound techniques for minimizing damage and disappointment caused by pests in your garden. We'll have a community seed library present - pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate seeds. Advance registration recommended.

Cost: $7, 50% discount with Leisure Access Card
