Thanks for the welcome. I signed up for VV cause I heard about an event that the beekeeping group was putting on. I wasn't able to attend as I found out about it the day previous- but I've emailed Ann and hope to hear about what transpired at the meeting. I've been talking to various folks about getting a Vancouver bee club going again.
Thanks for the suggestions about the groups to join.
Thanks Ross! This Wednesday I'm going to check out the west end community supported agriculture depot. Pick up is at the west end community centre between 3 and 7. I see Glenn posted May 2 support for a west end potluck. Is there one upcoming?
thanks! I've joined my local transition village now... just getting into the swing of things and figuring out how this all works. I'm also planning to come to the Resilience event this Thursday, so I may see you there. I hear there will be some asset mapping going on, which sounds exciting!
Hope you feel better soon. It was fun on Tuesday and a friend of mine Lynn showed up so we had a great time; cut some bamboo for support stakes and planted tomato plants that Derek had raised from seed. I emailed my ungodly son Thomas to join VV Kits; he lives at 6th/Vine.
Regards, Angela
thanks for the welcome! a potluck in the west end sounds great. i'm excited about village vancouver and the transition concept. the conference this weekend was really inspiring for me.
I look forward to a meeting I can attend. I may have to participate online for now. It is tricky with a 1.5 year old daughter and bed times etc. Hopefully I will be able to catch up online.
At home I am implementing the square foot gardening philosophy. The soil is prepared, and the square feet marked off. Now it is time to plant!
Thanks for the information. I won't be able to attend the food meeting tomorrow, though I would still like to get involved in one of the initiatives, are there any projects in progress?
I was looking forward to coming to the potluck (I have many seed packets that will not get planted this summer-space/light shortage) but somebody from Alberta is coming for a spontaneous visit this weekend. I have to entertain... Next time I guess.
Thanks Ross. Looking forward to learning more about Village Vancouver. Very much interested in local food security, biodiversity etc. And I hope I can attend the food group meeting!
I'm making plans to work in Robin's permaculture garden in a week or two... and I'm going to bring back some nursery plants!
In the yard, I've planted an Apache thornless Blackberry, and a Black Currant amongst kale and strawberries. Also some peas next to lovage hoping they will climb each other... CYa Tuesday maybe?

Okay- I'm a bit of a pest- how to I join the beekeeping group? It doesn't seem to come as an option under groups.

I'd like to join the Kits group but couldn't do it through the Village Vancouver website. So when's the next meetup? Ruth
Thank you for the invite but not sure how to do that. Help?
