Part 1 - How to utilise space on a balcony garden
Sometimes you need other people to open your eyes to what's possible. When Neil and I first came to live in Vancouver I would spend hours pouring over the free paper: The Georgia Straight, full of concert listings and events throughout the city, until I knew of every single opportunity available for entertainment or recreation. Locals would joke that I knew more about the city than them, which puzzled me, surely they also wanted to know everything going on? Fast forward 8 years and now I'm the one being told of free, fun things to do. I suppose you start to settle down when you live somewhere, no longer vacationing and wanting to make the most of every evening. My friend Chelle told me about this balcony gardening class, run by a gardener and a local chef and so we attended on Sunday. It was very interesting.
