What began with just 17 planters almost a decade ago has expanded to comprise two gardens brimming with produce, and a 40-foot hydroponics container farm that keeps vegetables blooming long through winter.
In recent weeks a smokehouse, built to store up to 200 fish, has been erected opposite the Tsleil-Waututh Cultural and Recreation Centre, ready to be booked for use by members.
