Grow Your Own Sprouts and Microgreens

Microgreens are tasty and nutritious greens that can be eaten, like sprouts, as a fresh snack or added to salads, smoothies and soup. In this Village Vancouver Fairview – False Creek South Neighborhood Food Network workshop with Dr. Yael Stav, you’ll learn how to grow your own trays of microgreens at home and how to grow your own sprouts year-round. We’ll look at the difference between sprouts and microgreens, review the many possible seeds that can be used for starting sprouts and microgreens, and look into troubleshooting common problems. You’ll prepare your own microgreen tray, and sprouting jar to take home! We’ll have a community seed library present – pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate seeds. Fee includes cost of all materials. Only $15 materials fee for children and youth (8-18 yrs old) and seniors (50+). Part of our 10th Annual Westside Food Festival (May 19-July 11).
