 Some of the garden highlights over the past year include:* Our expansi
 on from the original Parker street plots to two new sites* At the Vern
 on street site, we built gardening boxes that housed our buckwheat cro
 p making friends with the garlic crop that was planted there last fall
 *At the Charles street there have been so many hands that have contrib
 uted to the epic sheet mulching of this city block boulevard strip so 
 that it is ready for all the trees to be planted in the coming year. 
  *Purple beans, so so yummy raspberries, giant pumpkins and sunflower
  trees!*Laughter, friends, conversation and learning was made, deepene
 d, carved out, explored.  And those of us that making up the gardenin
 g crew are all better people because of it. *Dead rats...ok maybe we'
 re not so proud of this...but the industrial wildlife do present a few
  challenges!\n\nFor more information visit http://villagevancouver.org
