On Saturday, April 18 I attended a workshop at the Garratt Wellness Center in Richmond to learn how to organize a community garden. The workshop was organized by Arzeena Hamir of the Richmond Food Security Society and featured a talk by David Tracey from VCAN in Vancouver and Peter Elson from Colony Farm Community Garden. Following a delicious lunch, we spent the afternoon spreading bark mulch for the pathways and filling the raised beds with topsoil.
