Event Description

In this Westside Neighbourhood Food Network workshop with Rhiannon Johnson, we'll examine gardening cycles season by season, including what to plant and when to plant it, simple techniques for extending the growing season, and other ways to get more food (and enjoyment) out of your garden. We'll have the community seed library present - pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate some seeds.

FREE. Register on Vancouver Recreation: tinyurl.com/y8zxtbf2.
