- In Metro Vancouver, where land is at a premium and the cost of living continues to increase, a group of gardeners are using public and private land to feed their community - part of a plan to promote a sharing economy, and empower people to design, build and maintain community spaces.

Amazing dedication and effort. This is long overdue. Now we are facing serious food shortagez all available green spaces should be utilized. Please do a longer reportage on this topic.
I needed a story like this.
I really wish I liked vegetables more. I keep trying, new recipes, spices, etc., as the years have gone by, but I'm old now so it looks like it's not going to happen. I'm growing my best garden ever this year, using better soil amendments, row covers, shade cloth and such. My tomatoes are good, my carrots are great, my swiss chard, lettuce, and beets are fantastic. All things my gf likes, not me, lol.
You tried blended tomatoes as a base with curry spices and onion to cook chicken drumsticks and thighs (curried chicken)? Or blended tomato with basil, parsley and oregano for a beef bolognaise sauce on spaghetti? The tomato is very versatile, and if you prefer something sweeter you can grow their cousin the cape gooseberry / ground cherry, which is like a very sweet tomato with citrus undertones.
The pollinators love it and the environment need the pollinators!! 🐝🐞🦋
What a great thing to do
Amazing and the city is wise to endorse these initiatives!
LOVE, All we need.
Crownland should be open for this
California during the Great Depression planted fruit trees along its highways......... 🇨🇦 should do the same 💪🇨🇦☝️
We got 97 % crownland, which is only given to huge conglomerates for devastation like careless logging or mining. There could be little familly gardens and orchards started instead! Europe has this too. Would also lower our tremendous costs for storebought produce and would enhance local farmers markets instead.
The track beside the Strathcona garden used to have people stock car racing there in 50s
Awesome!
Love this so much!!
So what you are telling us is that the city does nothing to maintain garbage or any green spaces unless someone else comes in and volunteers to do all of the work. Is that right?
God forbid they raise property taxes
So cool I wish I could have a garden
Go change a filter on an rtu, and then make a decision on what you should eat, and where it is grown.
Am I the only one who expected to see gorillas in the gardens? 😕
It's not "guerilla" gardening if you have "permission".
The owners of the land (if not crown land) should get a "Green Card Pass" and a decrease in taxes ..
Ya right. You think Horgan and the NDP government will ever let you catch a break
@BMW RulesForEternity - Yes! I agree with you and Cheesey McCheese!
Watch out for lead poisoning in the soil. Especially in cities limits.
Ya, can’t do this in Coquitlam....... the place is built on a literal dump😳😵😵😵
But how do you water them?
As much as I love cars, the exhaust from these machines is killing us all.
Oh ya??? You hear of the multi-national corporation in Quebec emitting 30x “safe arsenic limits” into our air???? Or the approved EV parts factory projected to emit 5x “safe nickel emissions” into our air????........ as a diesel tech, I can inform you for the last 10 years DPF’s and EGR’s allow very little noxious fumes into our air, same with catalytic converters....... it’s our politicians that are trying to kill us all 😷💉😵🤫🤫🤫💰💰💰💰
Nàaah
Far worse things then vehicle exhaust. The pesticides in the food you eat and that are allowed to be sold are far worse than exhaust. And hen their is the governments feeding people fentanyl instead of rehabbing them, which in turn causes massive amounts of crimes and shooting. Then in 2021 Trudeau went soft on gun crimes eliminating the minimum 3 year sentence for all gun crimes including habitual gun traffickers...look it up if you dont believe me
All new Chinese immigrants should be forced to feed the Poor. Daily flighs back home.
Indigenous peoples in Canada would want you do the same thing.
And everybody named Mark Whitely should be forced to clean the washrooms at pigeon park. Who TF do you think you are?
@Matt Hoffman The mans got a point....... international saboteurs, spy’s and multi-national “elitists” should be required to do some mandatory humanitarian aid for our own vulnerable citizens instead of just taking everything from us 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
