Demonstration Projects at 12th & Clark garden.


The organizers of the 12th & Clark garden (www.clarkand12thgarden.com) are interested in proposals for Demonstration Projects at the new garden.  Would any VV members in the neighborhood like to take the lead on a demonstration project?  It could involve growing food, permaculture, bees, etc. Let me know.  Jason: jason@villagevancouver.ca

I have half a yard of soil in the back of my truck. Need to get it gone! Happy to deliver it to your Cedar Cottage area curb for $25 :)

Hi All,

The Neighbourhood Small Grants are back again, and the deadline for applications (a very simple 2 pager) for the Cedar Cottage neighbourhood is April 30th. Check it out at http://cedarcottage.org/nsg.html

Looking forward to exciting projects emerging!

Cheers,

Meredith

Hello everyone!

Sending love, hugs and hellos to my fellow villagers. I wanted to share that tonight a dozen of us met at Kensington Library to discuss Food Security in the Cedar Cottage Trout Lake 'hood and it was a very fun wonderful night!  There will be more activity coming from this group this year and I am excited - hope to cross paths soon :) http://tlccfoodsecurity.blogspot.com/

Hoping that a few people living in the Cedar Cottage area join our seed saving collective for 2012.  We are down to 2 members in our core group and this will severely limit our ability to hold workshops (for the benefit of the public) and to continue growing out our available seed stock. Please email me if you are interested in helping out.  Thanks.

The blueberries are ready and wondering if anyone in my village is interested in going out for a couple of hours (preferably arriving at 10 am at the farm) for an old-fashioned blueberry u-pick. DFG Blueberries has been a blueberry farm bearing the title organic, since 1993!  I can offer a carpool ride (max. 3 seats available). We could also do veg.lunch if interested.  Email me before the weekend. Thanks.

Discussion Forum

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

59 discussions

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
