These are the 2 #RaisedBeds at #WellandCommunityOrchard. We're growing food in them to expand on more community food security at the orchard. Currently, we're growing beans, dill, peas, basil, lettuces, tomatoes & cucamelons.

The raised beds are high enough that disabled people, like me, can easily work at them.

The bottom panel shows the full length of the beds, also containing lettuce and peas climbing a fence. Garden tools are visible on the grass.

A collage showing volunteers working in a vibrant community orchard & gardens on a sunny day. One image shows a person on a ladder picking cherries from a tree laden with ripe fruit. Other volunteers are pulling weeds and tending to young trees, while another is digging with a shovel. Overall, the scenes convey a sense of collaboration and healthy food production.

All through Summer we are prepping for revival of our free community #SeedsLibrary - will update as things come together. I'm back at HQ on Monday afternoon.
Plan on a soft launch this Fall & a hard launch next Spring. We have millions of locally donated seeds to still sort, package & organize.

A close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a wooden seed library organizer with multiple compartments containing seed packets. Each compartment is labeled with plant types like "Lettuce," "Herbs," and others. The seed packets are light brown and feature the "Victoria Seed Library" logo (a stylized tomato with the words). Some packets have handwritten details about the seeds' origin, variety, and harvest year. A blue measuring spoon lies on the top edge of the organizer. Some compartments also contain small, white envelopes.

Medium shot of three people standing behind a round, light-colored wooden table. The background is a white wall with a whiteboard containing handwritten text. The table is covered with a wooden organizer box containing seed packets, several unmarked yellow envelopes, a plastic container with pens and scissors, and a tape dispenser. The person on the left wears a patterned headscarf and holds a wooden box with a seed library graphic. The person in the center is wearing a vertically striped shirt and a baseball cap with a logo, holding up a yellow card. The woman on the right (me) has rainbow-colored hair and wears a white mask, giving a peace sign with her left hand and holding up seed packets in the right hand. The overall tone is bright and cheerful.

A brightly lit meeting room features a round wooden table surrounded by chairs. On the table are a wooden box labeled "Victoria Seed Library," a stack of "Welland Community Orchard" flyers, and a turquoise mug that says "But first, Coffee". In the background, a whiteboard covered with handwritten notes and drawings stands against a white brick wall. A corkboard divided into months with notes is on a yellow wall next to a window. The room appears to be in an office or community space.

"Public can soon check out free seeds at downtown Victoria library.
LifeCycles revamps its seed library now, just in time for planting 2026.

The executive director for the Victoria #nonprofit LifeCycles Project is spearheading a refresh on its seed library with a goal to create open access where people can pick up all the resources they need from the library – including seeds.

Saving, sharing and sowing seeds has been a LifeCycles goal since the 1990s with a variety of projects.:

Hulke & Criscione find that high selfing rates for a trematode can be explained solely by demography. Using demographic estimates of selfing showed no evidence for inbreeding depression. They test a theory for why parasites maintain complex life cycles. Read now ahead of print!

"The subculture lifecycle is a problem only from a geek perspective. As far as mops [members of the public] are concerned, it provides reliable, low-cost waves of novelty entertainment and casual social relationships. As far as sociopaths are concerned, it generates easily-exploited pools of prestige, sex, power, and money."

All the farm fresh harvest foods that we gave away to folks who attended the annual #LifeCycles #CommunitySharing day are from local farmers who donated excess harvests & from gleaning volunteers. We gifted hundreds of dollars worth of fruits & vegetables at the event today. Excess fruits & vegetables are going to rest of our volunteers & to Mustard Seed Community Food Distribution centre - located beside LifeCycles HQ, in industrial Esquimalt area.
