Not just kale and snow peas, but ‘seeds’ of community organizing and excitement around community gardening!
We accomplished many things at our 2nd ‘The Plot Thickens’ Community Gardening Workshop held in East Vancouver at Lakeview Multicultural United Church Saturday May 5th, 2012. We even moved 5 yards of donated compost into 4 of the 6 garden boxes!

Here are the ‘Why’s’ and ‘How’s’ that we addressed all in one day!
Why should we garden in the City? What is Food Insecurity and what gardens in our CGN is doing to address it? Why is food spiritual? How do plants use N, P and K? Why should aim to have ‘sticky’ soil? How can we create a cohesive community around the garden? Why is Community Gardening important?
