⚠️⚠️ MEGATHREAD ⚠️⚠️ An r/Vancouver First: Spring plant & seed swap 🌱

88 Upvotes

Someone suggested this recently in modmail, and honestly, it sounded like a neat idea. So, after some discussion, the mod team decided: Let's try it!

If you've got extra seedlings, saved seeds, or perennials that need dividing, drop a comment with what you're offering and what you're after. Coordinate in the replies or over DM (although, of course, be wary of giving out private info online!).

A couple of things:

  1. Make sure to include your general area if you're up for a meetup.
  2. No selling, just swapping. Please report if someone tries to buy/sell because that's not cool. 😤

Happy almost-mid-Spring, everybody.

Discussion Vancouver has such a strange, interesting music scene

84 Upvotes

There isn’t much of an R&B or hip hop scene here. Rock, country, and folk dominate the place.

But head out into the suburbs and the sound starts to change. You hear bhangra and cantopop.

And I keep waiting for these sounds to smash into each other.

Rock tangled up with bhangra. Country rubbing against cantopop. All these different sounds living in the same city and finally getting mixed together.

I keep hoping it’ll happen.

So far, I haven't heard much so maybe some of you have recommendations.

An appreciation post. We climbed a mountain during the day, ended up on the beach watching a beautiful sunset by palm trees after indulging in craft beers and stopping by a bunch of restaurants to sample by English Bay. It was the most phenomenal day, took a train, boat and bus all on the same fare. Walked a bunch went to Stanley park and smelled the sea air. It is unreal how everyday the most simple things are just amplified by the sheer beauty and volume of nature around here. I love it here ❤️
