Summer is the perfect time to plant for the fall and winter, and to start planning overwintering herbs and vegetables. In this Village Vancouver workshop with Rhiannon Johnson, you’ll learn how and when to plant cool weather crops such as kale, lettuce, parsley, coriander, spinach, and Swiss chard, whether you’re gardening on a balcony or in a backyard.

Discover the magic of fermentation in this lively, hands-on workshop. The session begins with making your own lacto-fermented pickles — crisp, tangy vegetables preserved in brine. Once the jars are sealed, the workshop shifts into a delicious, communal build-your-own bánh mì session.

Learn to make a leash and collar for your best friend, and have fun developing the skills associated with a new craft.

This small group 2 hour course is for people who want to learn to ride a bike or learn basic handling skills to cycle for urban transportation.
