Summer has finally arrived in Vancouver! With the Real Food movement gaining momentum, more and more people are looking to grow at least some of their own food. The good news is you don’t need a yard to grow vegetables. Container gardening has been a popular choice for urban gardeners for some time now, but it’s not just for flowers anymore! A sunny window or balcony will suffice for many summer vegetables. Grow tomatoes in that hanging basket, zucchini on a trellis, or plant an herb garden on a sunny window sill. Don’t have the right exposure? You can still grow a salad garden using certain herbs and lettuce varieties on a balcony that gets limited sun.

We’ve got some great properties right now that are sure to delight the gardener in you! 1108-175 W. 1st St. in North Vancouver not only has spectacular views, but also has a big south west exposed balcony for year round gardening! 2105 W. 19th Ave. in Vancouver has a huge yard with mature fruit trees sure to satisfy your gardening desires. Check out our listings page or contact Matt or Darlyne to help you find the perfect gardener’s paradise, whether you’re looking a house with a sunny yard, or an urban oasis with a rooftop deck.

Enjoy the summer!
