Empty Lot in Downtown Vancouver

I visited with Shandelle and Peter in an empty lot in the heart of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside where they plan to start a garden for the neighbourhood. Peter, who works at the Portland Hotel, part of the PHS Community Services Society, describes who lives in the buildings surrounding the garden. Shandelle is excited by the food growing potential of the lot and how it can help the people she works with. City Farmer TV.
