This is a gardener's dream guide to Vancouver's green life, with the dirt on compost, the slime on slugs, advice on arbors, and much more useful information. Series...Dog City, Food City, & Garden City
Worth picking up if you find it on sale. Everything in it you'll find on the internet but this will save you a ton of googling time. It's more of a 'how-to-find' than a 'how-to' garden book. Gardening is now the #1 outdoor leisure activity in Vancouver, that's pretty cool.
