Photo Tour of City Farmer's Demonstration Garden

3 Pages in Total


Welcome to City Farmer's research and teaching garden at 2150 Maple Street in Vancouver. Since 1981 we have shown the public how to grow vegetables and fruit organically on a small city lot. Over the years a variety of simple technologies have been added to the garden to show urban people how they can become involved in food, waste and water conservation. These include rain barrels, a composting toilet and vermiculture. The following is a photographic tour of what you will see when you visit.
