Succession Soup: Community Conversation and Cooking (POSTPONED)
Join us for a chat about gardening, culture, and storytelling. Participants will create a cook-at-home soup kit made from a collection of ingredients brought by folks and grown from the MOV’s Backyard Garden.
This program is around the practice of and social themes we can gather from succession planting, which “in agriculture…refers to several planting methods that increase crop availability during a growing season by making efficient use of space and timing”
We invite folks of all gardening levels and interest to attend and share with each other - whether you're a seasoned 'green thumb' or just want to chat and learn more about growing food. Participants are encouraged to bring an item grown from their own garden to share with the group, to emphasize the theme of succession. We don't want to deplete your bounty, so just enough for 1-2 other participants! We are excited to hear your stories about growth, food, gardening, and culture, and be able to create a meal from all of your love and hard work!
For this interactive workshop, participants must bring:
A container for their soup kit (1 per registrant)
Ingredients to share (optional but encouraged)
A story

Cat hung
This summer, the MOV Backyard Garden project is being managed by Cat Hung, a student research assistant with UBC's Initiative for Student Teaching and Research in Chinese Canadian Studies (INSTRCC).
Cat is a third year undergraduate, recently transferred into the Global Resource Systems program, and specializing in sustainable agriculture and urban studies in British Columbia. They hope to learn more about Chinese Canadian culture through culinary and agricultural food practices.
The garden was created as part of the 2019 "A Seat at the Table: Chinese Immigration and British Columbia" exhibit, and intends to highlight gardening and food stories from marginalized communities in BC. This summer Cat is focusing on a theme of succession and knowledge sharing, highlighting the importance of learning from each other and our (hi)stories.
