  • Photos of stages of the garden's construction
    
  • Drawings of the garden's layout
  • ...and a green tool shed design competition.

  • A discussion about the role of permaculture's role in community gardens.
  • A gardening safety guide.
  • ...and lots more.
    
• The Vancouver Park Board's Community Garden web page. This page provides links to the garden walking tours.
• The famous Vancouver City Farmer's web page. Among many other valuable links, this group has a community garden page that lists most of the community gardens in the GVRD along with links to their web pages.
• The square foot gardening system has been adopted by many urban gardeners because it's easy, conserves water, and is high-yield, all attractive features in an urban landscape.
• Homegrown Evolution, a blog about (among other things) urban gardening.
• A primer on low-flow drip irrigation from Lee Valley. Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient irrigation systems available.
