It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since the Vancouver City Hall Community Garden was first opened on July 20, 2009. Over the year, I’ve been lucky enough to be involved in some of its milestones – there have been many!

The below photos provide just a glimpse of some of the highlights made possible through the hard work of the community gardeners and volunteers.
