Come and create your own edible garden containers out of recycled materials with permaculturalists, Nova and Leanne.
Ever wonder how to grow your own food in small spaces at home? Or do you have a hot sunny patio or dark shady basement suite and don’t know what to grow there? Leanne and Nova will show you that you can have fun gardening in all sorts of areas and containers at a very low cost. Learn how to plant your own starters and seeds in creative containers for your own unique growing space. Learn about companion planting and ways to minimize water usage.
All participants will be provided with a container to plant at the workshop and take home. We will provide seeds and starters, soil, and loaner tools for you to use.
Note: In addition to the container we provide you, feel free to bring your own small container that you can plant and take home. Some ideas: mason jars, flower vases, wooden kitchen bowls or a recycled plant pot. See you there!

Feature: Wheely Slow Cooking Tour
When Vancouver-raised musician Julia Spitale set out on a tour with fellow musician Shera Kelly and documentary film-maker Jessica Gates last June to perform music, cook, and interview farmers, there was every intention to return home after the tour. The three women, who not only visited typical venues such as bars and cafés but also less conventional venues like farms and homes, found a community of farmers eager to share their stories and experiences -- and their original plan to document sustainable farms and local food practices across Canada blossomed into the Wheely Slow Cooking Tour.
At each of their stops, they asked for a favourite recipe and cooked together with their guests. Soon, they were receiving invites to homes and farms all across Canada and even turning down offers due to their busy schedule. In total, they visited over 30 communities from Salt Spring to Halifax in less than two months!
Now back in Vancouver, the women are eager to share what they learned and have posted webisodes of the journey on their website. Drop by and watch their interviews with farmers, see the recipes they collected, and learn how the tour unfolded.
To top off the currently scheduled 2012 dates, the Wheely Slow Cooking Tour will be appearing at the Sustenance Festival on October 18, 2012, at the Roundhouse Community Centre.
Wheely Slow Cooking Tour
Location: Roundhouse Community Centre (181 Roundhouse Mews / Vancouver - map)
Date: October 18, 2012 at 6:30 pm
Cost: FREE
Join the Vancouver Food Policy Council and members of the Park Board Local Assets Task Force for an evening of discussion, music, interactive displays, and food.
