Event Description

Enjoy the taste of freshly grown veggies from your garden this coming spring! Village Vancouver and the Richmond Food Bank present a free workshop with Rhiannon Johnson covering the basics of planning, preparing and starting a food garden come Spring. You'll learn how to plan and prepare your garden space, as well as some simple techniques for starting plants indoors and in the garden, tailored to your space.

We'll have a community seed library present - pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate seeds. 

Light refreshments served.
