Interested in learning more about growing your own food? Join us to meet up with fellow gardeners, learn gardening tips, meet new people and discover available tools and resources to help you in your growing. Share your knowledge, experience, and interests in starting, maintaining and improving a community garden with like-minded fellow gardeners in a ‘World Cafe’ setting. Enjoy a guided tour in the Botanical Garden and explore one of Vancouver’s oldest food demonstration gardens. Learn about a new tool being piloted to record harvest yields and plant varieties.
