Urban Agriculture - HORT 3270

This is a large project I have been working on for two years as part of my role as Director of Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation and my links with Langley School District (SD 35). We are proposing to use space within the Township on which we are planning several activities including a Demo Garden (for schools), Incubator Farm space, Innovative Urban Farm (container system), Seed Library (already in the KPU Langley library) AND Heritage Agriculture Centre. Part of the last piece may be an Indigenous food garden. We have already met with KFN representatives. Funding will be sought from local Foundations, banks, etc. The land is subject to on-going conversations with Township of Langley, and not yet approved. Hope to break ground late this year or next spring.  Brochure available.

Are students involved?

Students have been in the past.

Is the activity/event/project funded?  If so, what is the funding source?

I hope so!
