Strathcona Community Garden

I went for a little tour of Strathcona Community Gardens last weekend.  Strathcona is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Vancouver.  It's bordered by Chinatown and has historically always been a working class neighbourhood because of it's location to the railway and Hastings Mill.  This community garden is connected to a park field and  neighbouring an ice cream shop with over 200 flavours.  It's also the neighbourhood where I used to live in my early twenties and have enjoyed many inspired strolls.  Strathcona Community Garden is a really special space with an orchard, a water feature and loads of unique allotment plots. I especially enjoy espalier apple trees and grape vine arbour.
