Please join Village North Shore for Seedy Saturday on March 3rd!
See above link for further info.
I think it would be great to share a table Randy. I'll let Emily know.
Looks like Evonne and I can be there - Lucien, it is in the afternoon, can you still come out and play?
Anyone else?
It looks like I will be there with one of our neighbourhood Village seed libraries, and might have an opportunity to present the concept of seed libraries during the event. I'd love some help tabling and just helping to talk about the power of collaboration.
I would be happy to spend a morning there. Anyone want to team up?
Hello All,
Would we like to have a table at the Edible Garden Projects Seedy Saturday on March the 3rd. Good opportunity to let folks know more about Village North Shore.
Excellent! This could be one way to get some Village North Shore projects going and create more momentum.
Cheers,
Ross

Something remarkable is happening in the fields and orchards of the Pacific Northwest. After leaving the land for decades, family farmers are making a comeback. They are growing much healthier food, and more food per acre, while using less energy and water than factory farms. And most of this food is organic.
For decades Northwest agriculture was focused on a few big crops for export. But climate change and the end of cheap energy mean that each region needs to produce more of its own food and to grow it more sustainably. Good Food visits farmers, farmers' markets, distributors, stores, restaurants and public officials who are developing a more sustainable food system for all.
Village engages individuals, neighbourhoods & organizations to take actions that build sustainable communities & have fun doing it. Join us!

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.

A human right? After food, many feel shelter is our second most important need. Community lies in there somewhere. This category is for all things relating to home, shelter, housing, affordable housing, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
