Here is a bit of an update on the garden Nieu Communities has been
sharing with Grandview Baptist Church and the local community.
We come together every Wednesday and share lunch and the afternoon
together.
This is what the garden (or dirt hole) looked like just over 3 months ago…
After a bit of hard work…
Carrie & Tim
Deric
Ryan and Luke
Kat & Carrie
Amy H, Ute, Tim, Ryan, Amy W-R
And a bit of fun…
And getting to know our neighbors…
Look at the layout now!
We outlined the planting beds using everything from rocks, to bricks, to
wooden beams thrown out from the remodeled playground down the street.
The sunflower, tomato, lemon cucumber, onion, chard, and marigold seedlings
began sprouting in June...
Our italian friend next door would give us tips on growing the tastiest tomatoes.
Getting bigger…
And bigger…
And huge! Look at Amy and Carrie harvest those tomatoes 
It looks like fried green tomotoes are in order for Canadian
Thanksgiving on Monday!
Here you can see several heads of cauliflower missing because we
were able to give them to “Out of the Cold” - a local community meal
that welcomes marginalized people on Thursday nights.
That’s our garden so far. We’ll see what’s in store as rainy season begins
here in Vancouver!!!
