Seedling to Sidedish: Explore Cultural Plants and Palettes

Join Embark Sustainability during this year’s Burnaby Festival of Learning to discover how you can cultivate and cook a culturally diverse array of fruits and veggies.

In this workshop, you’ll learn to grow plants and your palette by exploring the produce different communities use to create their cultural meals. Walk through the process from seedling to side-dish, learn about creating just food systems, and explore the accessibility of culturally significant foods.

Seeds and recipe cards included! Join us in the Student Union Building Learning Garden on May 6th.
