(Note: We will also discuss this informally at our monthly potluck on Sunday.)

Join us in exploring how we can grow more food in the neighbourhood in public and private spaces, especially collaboratively.

Please bring food to share for snacks/a light meal.

Agenda (in progress)

We've been exploring the idea of establishing a collaborative garden at the Billy Bishop Legion Hall in Kits Point and have the OK from them to go ahead. Several neighbours are interested, and the 1st  part of the meeting will focus on this.

Several other ideas have also been floated around in Kits, and the 2nd part of the meeting could focus on some of these, including an herb spiral on a traffic circle, a fruit orchard in a wide grassy strip between the street and sidewalk, and gardens in several places, including the railroad tracks area (Arbutus corridor), Music Academy lawn, Jericho Auxilliary, yards, and  various vacant lots. We'll also hear about whether gardening at Kits House is a possibility this year.

In addition, we'll be holding a Permaculture PET day on Sunday, April 17, where a property will be made more sustainable for food production, using Permaculture Design methods.

And...we'll have some red wrigglers to give away.
