May Day Garden Party

Please join us May 1st at noon for the third annual Cedar Cottage Garden Spring Fling in Vancouver, BC! I am very excited and a little nervous because I am signed up to be a vendor for this event and will be selling my handmade aprons, to die for hazelnut truffles, homemade salves, soapnut laundry pouches, yarrow stalks, rune pouches and whatever else I can pull together in the next week or so. This is my first time selling my products in such an environment so hopefully it goes well. Fingers crossed for a nice sunny day.

Cedar Cottage Garden is a beautiful community garden located under the skytrain tracks Hull Street and Victoria Drive. The event will take place from 12 to 3pm May 1st and is organized by Cedar Cottage Garden. Keep an eye on updates of vendors by following this link.

Members of the garden will be hosting a bake sale, plant sale and book sale, with all proceeds going directly to improve the garden and make it more accessible for the community. You’ll also have the opportunity to take a tour of West House, the first eco-friendly laneway house in Vancouver.
