The Vancouver Urban Food Forest Foundation (VUFFF) will partner with a number of artists in the neighbourhood to provide a variety of arts-based, knowledge-sharing workshops that happen out of our fieldhouse at Burrardview Park and at Chenchenstway Garden at Oxford Park. These in person experiences will be free to attend and materials will be provided. Our main goal is to create ongoing, low barrier opportunities for neighbours of the garden and food forest to connect with each other through the arts, learn something new and feel a sense of belonging in these spaces we steward. Our inspiration will be the plants and food in the garden and food forest, the values that guide our work and creating meaningful arts-based gatherings with our partner organizations and co creators. Workshops/events will include: sacred fire drumming circle, creative mending, patchwork blanket, plant sketching and watercolour painting.
