Sheryl shows us how she makes a Mojito with mint leaves grown at the City Farmer garden.
What do you do on a rainy Vancouver summer day? You turn to crafts in the garden. Maria picks some of our lavender and turns them into something useful. www.cityfarmer.info

Sharon picks fresh vegetables at the Vancouver Compost Demonstration Garden. It's summer, August 21, and this is food grown in the city just feet from the backdoor. That's what urban agriculture is all about. http://www.cityfarmer.info/
A baby raccoon falls into one of our used rain barrels at the Compost Demonstarion Garden. The rescue crew goes to work.
Garden Giants (King Stropharia) are edible mushrooms and Maria planted our crop at the Vancouver Compost Garden this past spring. We see them emerge under the squash leaves in September and admire their beauty.
I catch up with Sarah and Niki at UBC Farm where they are both hard at work harvesting and selling produce grown as part of a unique education program. If they have dirt on their hands and faces it's because this is a real hands-on program, not simply another in-the-classroom academic course. (And I apologize to them for shooting them before they could wash up!)
Maria pulls up some of her garlic as rain falls on the Vancouver Compost Demonstration Garden. In this video she shows us to join a number of garlic plants together by braiding them together.
