Project Summary
The garden is part of the Fare Farms initiative, a project from Afro Van Connect. It was created in 2020 during the pandemic to give the African Descent community a safe space to gather and is supported by the Vancouver Maritime Museum. African Descent get the opportunity to grow and harvest their cultural vegetables, while developing their knowledge of sustainable land practices.
