Out ‘n About at UBC Farm – August 25
Today librarian Karleen was out ‘n about at the UBC Farm!
“The UBC Farm is the Centre for Sustainable Food System’s main teaching and learning space. A 24-hectare integrated production farm, the UBC Farm is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam people. Situated within a 90-year-old coastal hemlock forest, the UBC Farm comprises cultivated annual crop fields, perennial hedgerows and orchards, pasture, teaching gardens, and forest stands.” – UBC Farm
Due to COVID many events and volunteer opportunities have been postponed but you can still register to be a volunteer!
Karleen’s tips to get gardening:
- Join a local garden in Vancouver
- Check out the seed lending branches of Vancouver Public Library
- If you don’t want to garden try out a nature walk
- Stay hydrated and bring snacks
- Be weather ready and wear a hat
