My mom and I went to Vancouver last week to run some errand. I dropped by
City Farmer at the end of our day.
City Farmer teaches people how to grow food in the city, compost their waste and take care of their home landscape in an environmentally responsible way. I've been hearing and reading lots about
City Farmer and I've always wanted to pay a visit there. Unfortunately I arrived late (they close at 4pm) so I only caught a few minutes to chat with Sharon, the lady who works there. She left the door unlock for me to poke around in there. It was a brief visit, but enough to make me fall in love with this place! I post some pictures up here to share with you. Bear in mind that this is still early spring/late winter in Vancouver. Imagine this place full of lush, colourful plants, chirping birds and buzzing bees, people chattering laughing and tending vegetables, all in the middle of the metropolis of Vancouver!

Compost Toilet!! (the gray pipe channels collected rain water into a rain water barrel for hand washing and irrigation i think)
