Succession Soup: Community Conversation

Build a dried soup kit and share stories about gardening and culture as we dive into “succession planting,” an agricultural practice that increases crop availability over the growing season. We want to gather folks to connect over plants, food and of course soup—with the intention of growing long-lasting knowledge and community. MOV’s Director of Collections & Exhibitions, Viviane Gosselin will introduce the Museum of Vancouver and UBC’s Backyard Garden exhibit while UBC Research Assistant Cat Hung will lead the discussion and workshop. Those who bring an ingredient to contribute will have their registration fee waived!

Since 2019 the Museum of Vancouver, in partnership with the University of British Columbia, have co-curated a garden exhibit on the front lawn of the Museum inspired by the multicultural backyard gardens of Vancouver. We recognize that food has been, and continues to be, a medium for civic engagement for migrant communities across the city. This experiential and inclusive garden exhibit celebrates the often untold stories of the backyard gardening community. We’re bringing the backyard to the forefront!
