- seed saving and urban agriculture
- There's a saying that "Transition is not a spectator sport". It's true! Village Vancouver runs on people power, and engaging in activities and projects together helps us accomplish more. Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with? And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)
- seed saving and growing food. As a Naturopathic Dr. I have a keen interest in nutrition, food and living a healthy lifestyle and educating people to do the same. I figure I better start practicing what I preach! I am concerned about our future food supply and want to be actively involved in preserving what is so precious to our well being....our food.

Hi Dawn,
Welcome to Village! I see that you're interested in seed saving and that you're in Kits. Do you know about the free seed saving workshop we're offering at Kits House tomorrow? It's also the kickoff of the Kits Village seed saving group and the Kits seed library. I hope you'll get involved.
Sending you an invite.
Cheers,
Ross
VV convenor
