It's our Big Day!
On Saturday April 17th we will be celebrating Growing City's official launch with the folks from World in a Garden.  There will be community garden flowers for sale (grown by the kiddies!) as well as other local garden goodies, starting at 10am.  Seeds of Plenty's Tricia Sedgwick will be giving tours of the remarkable urban sanctuary she helped design.  Get to know the garden even better by working on it! Guests will have the opportunity to plant, shovel and weed from noon until 3pm.  BBQ will be served care of Choices Markets, with all the proceeds going to support World in a Garden.  So come hungry and leave healthy!  Check out this video to get a taste.  Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Spring is here - let's bust some ivy!
March 28th 2010.  What better way to shake off the post-Olympic blues than by ripping down some invasive ivy!  Stanley Park is under attack - lets save our indigenous plants and get some exercise.  Email us if you're on board!  As always, we'll be bringing the delicious organic coffee and Sutherland Scones - no Growing City event goes un-craftied! See you all there :D
