Village Vancouver

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

I live in a housing coop and heard about this workshop and thought I'd share. I'm probably going to attend other workshops more directly related to my role on the board, but thought I'd share with others.


Sustainable gardening and landscaping NEW

This interactive panel discussion will take your sustainability goals outdoors and show you how to get your hands dirty, grow your own food, and make the most of your co-op's gardening potential.


Meet speakers like Andrea Bellamy, author of the soon-to-be-published
Urban Edibles: How to grow organic vegetables, fruit, herbs, and grains
in small spaces, and David Tracey, an ecological landscape designer with
a passion for tree care, community gardens and increasing access to
healthy, affordable food. You'll find out how to grow a garden
anywhere, create garden plans, and find ways to get the whole co-op
community involved. There will be plenty of time for your questions and
discussion following the presentations.

Date: Mar 27, 2010
Time: 1:45pm to 4:45pm; lunch at 12:30pm
