“100-Meter Diets, Gardens, and Food Security in the West End” (28 Sept 2009)
About 35 people showed up for an evening with Robin Wheeler (www.EdibleLandscapes.ca) on 28 Sept 2009 to hear about how people living on Vancouver’s densely populated downtown peninsula can turn their community into an edible landscape and grow more food for themselves. There was an active discussion and many ideas arose. A report will be prepared and posted on this website.
Short videos on our “100-Meter Diets…” meeting of Sept. 28th.
