The Vancouver Community Agriculture Network (VCAN) helps low income and other groups start and manage community gardens.

We also advocate for policies supporting urban agriculture and provide education and consultation on how to grow food in the city organically.

Whether you’ve just thinking about getting your hands dirty or you’re a seasoned farm hand, we’re a hub of  news, workshops, resources and more on urban agriculture.

Keep checking back for tips, links, event notices and stories from the trenches — or just to help by sharing some of your own bumper crop of knowledge with others. We all know the best growers are the ones who keep learning, and passing it on.

Questions, comments, concerns?  Please contact us here.

Coordinator David Tracey is available here.

If you’re wondering how to get started, check out our handy guidebook. This is the low-res pdf version of our workshop booklet, suitable for web viewing: Growing Community Gardens.
