Grow Your Own Sprouts and Microgreens

Microgreens are tasty and nutritious greens that can be eaten, like sprouts, as a fresh snack or added to salads, smoothies and soup. In this joint Village Vancouver – West End Neighbourhood Food NetworkUrban Garden Club workshop with Dr. Yael Stav, you’ll learn how to grow your own trays of microgreens at home and how to grow your own sprouts year-round. We’ll look at the difference between sprouts and microgreens, review the many possible seeds that can be used for starting sprouts and microgreens, and look into troubleshooting common problems. You’ll prepare your own microgreen tray, and sprouting jar to take home! We’ll have a community seed library present, pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate seeds. Fee includes cost of all materials. Free for Seniors (50 and over; $15 materials fee only).
