Learn about Indigenous foods and medicines growing in Trout Lake’s Medicine Wheel Garden! Join us monthly for hands-on experience tending the garden, harvesting, and medicine making.  Garden tending and harvesting at 6pm, followed by tea and snacks!  The workshop will begin at 7pm. All supplies are included.  

This month in the garden, we welcome back Victoria Buffalo Robe, Nehiyaw Iskwew permaculturalist, and herbalism and holistic health enthusiast.  We’ll make our own diy salve for skin care and sore muscles, using beeswax and infused oils made from plants in the garden.  Find out more about Holistic Buffalo, Victoria’s line of sustainable, regenerative skincare products.

This project has been supported through the Neighbourhood Matching Fund program of the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation and the Trout Lake Community Centre Association, in partnership with Cedar Cottage Food Network, Community Garden Roots, and Lu’Ma Medical Centre Society.

In case of rain or heat, we will have a tent set up.

The Medicine Wheel Garden is a sacred space and educational site, growing Indigenous foods and medicines.  It is located on the western side of Trout Lake, close to the Trout Lake Community Centre playground on the ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil Waututh) Nations.
