We maintained a Community Seed Sharing Library, giving away seeds to gardeners.If your group or organization would like to have us bring the seed library to your event, please contact us.
We make seed donations to community and school gardens. If your garden would like a donation of seeds, please contact us.
We can sometimes provide gardening advice.
We also occasionally run workshops out of the Marpole branch VPL and other nearby libraries, and the Marpole Neighbourhood House.
Some of our past activities:
As part of our Grow Local project, we were able to offer hands-on "how to"gardening workshops at community gardens (at little or no cost to the garden).
We ran food, cooking, and growing workshops at Marpole Oakridge Community Centre.
We gave away a number of mason bee houses.
We held multiple collaborations with the Marpole Place Neighbourhood House (2013-2014) prior to the Marpole NH.
We're always open to hearing about ideas for new projects and activities.
We invite your participation! f you'd like to become involved/volunteer with MONFN, please contact us at Ross.MONFN@villagevancouver.org.

Hi,
Vancouver Parks Board approved on May 13 a new Community Garden at Cambie Park (Cambie & 54th). The project was initiated by the South Van Green Thumbs , a group of local Marpole residents who attended a gardening course offered by Farmers on 57th last year and wanted to continue to garden as a community. If you are interested in a plot, email southvangreenthumbs@gmail.com or visit http://southvangreenthumbs.blogspot.ca/p/blog-page.html. We are getting ready to build the garden and appreciate all the help we can get!
Village engages individuals, neighbourhoods & organizations to take actions that build sustainable communities & have fun doing it. Join us!
