Under the Desk

If you notice more EYA staff with tan lines on their feet it may be because of the latest space being claimed for plant propagation, under a desk! Matthew has quickly turned the space under one desk into a little plant oasis, complete with bottom heat (thin pads to encourage the roots) and a high quality full spectrum light source.

Currently we have little kiwi vine cuttings which will end up in community green spaces throughout the city. Kiwis are one of the best kept gardening secrets of Vancouver, they grow into delicious fruits that look identical to those in the store imported from half a world away.

We also have several trays of wheat grass. Our first crop is very lush and awaiting it's fate - to be pulverized in a juicer and create a poplar nourishing drink. Bring your juicer down to the EYA office for a fresh wheat grass shot - a treat in the middle of winter.
