Steward the Vancouver Compost Demonstration Garden

Join City farmer for an afternoon of stewardship. Discover local ecology and the vital role of conservation and composting. Learn how to grow food in the city, compost waste, and care for your home landscape in an environmentally responsible way. You will gain practical skills in urban gardening and composting. You will contribute to local conservation efforts and connect with like-minded individuals to become part of a community dedicated to sustainability.

City Farmer was established in 1978 at the Vancouver Community Conservation Centre (VCCC) as a six-month project initiated by Canada’s Federal Ministry of Mines, Energy and Resources. The project aimed to teach people about energy conservation. Over the years, City Farmer has evolved into a leading organization in urban agriculture, educating people on everything from the art of composting to Waterwise tips.
