This Vancouver, B.C., neighborhood is building community while transforming an abandoned lot in a crack neighborhood into a flourishing community garden.

Janaia Donaldson hosts Peak Moment, a television series emphasizing positive responses to energy decline and climate change through local community action. How can we thrive, build stronger communities, and help one another in the transition from a fossil fuel-based lifestyle?

I like to collect stories like this one of successful gardens going in. Vancouver is really committed to urban gardening. Since about 1973, Michael at www.cityfarmer.org has been blazing the trail. I visited him last summer. Could you imagine a demonstration garden in Burlington with plots, minigreenhouse, seed harvesting, composting, irrigation demos, etc. And people really enjoying each other while they learn to grow some of their own food. I could.
