Description: In this Westside Neighbourhood Food Network workshop with Dr. Yael Stav, we'll review the opportunities for, and benefits of, growing food in vertical gardens in an urban setting. We'll discuss the different systems and technologies available for vertical gardening, and talk about the principles of setting up a successful vertical food garden on fences, walls, and balconies, including watering, weight, light and plant choice considerations. Then we'll help instal a new vertical garden in Village Vancouver's Collaborative Permaculture Garden at Aberthau's Eco Art Garden. We'll have the West Point Grey VV community seed library present - pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate seeds. Register by July 26th.
