Grow healthy at DIGA event The next Disabled Independent Gardeners Association (DIGA) workshop looks at health benefits of homegrown produce. All About Sprouts is held at Cameron Rec. Centre (9523 Cameron St. , Burnaby – next to Lougheed Mall), from 1:30 to 3:30pm on Thursday, Feb. 24. The workshop will consider sprouting grains, legumes and vegetable seeds – and how to incorporate them into your diet for a pennies-a-day health boost. “Bring a fork and a small plate as we’re going to taste and sample snacks from sprouts,” said DIGA program coordinator Betty Cheung. “The workshop will cover the health benefits from sprouting, and recipe ideas. ” Admission is $10. April’s workshop, Alpine Plants and Rock Gardens, will be at VanDusen Botanical Garden, Vancouver. More details will be publicised nearer the time. Garden space Organizers of a new community garden at East Vancouver’s Adnac Park have accessible plots available for DIGA members. For more information, contact Nancy McRi Less
