Come and join us for a gathering of stories, learning from the plants, music, and art to celebrate Earth Day and our connections with nature!

This event is organized by inHarmony inNature, Indigenous Welcome Garden , and Vancouver Urban Food Forest, with the Hastings Community Association, Hastings Community Centre, and Templeton Park and Pool. This partnership of organizations held a successful event at Templeton Park on September 30th for Orange Shirt Day, with more than 500 people in attendance.
