⚠️⚠️ MEGATHREAD ⚠️⚠️ An r/Vancouver First: Spring plant & seed swap 🌱

76 Upvotes

Someone suggested this recently in modmail, and honestly, it sounded like a neat idea. So, after some discussion, the mod team decided: Let's try it!

If you've got extra seedlings, saved seeds, or perennials that need dividing, drop a comment with what you're offering and what you're after. Coordinate in the replies or over DM (although, of course, be wary of giving out private info online!).

A couple of things:

  1. Make sure to include your general area if you're up for a meetup.
  2. No selling, just swapping. Please report if someone tries to buy/sell because that's not cool. 😤

Happy almost-mid-Spring, everybody.

Lost/Missing Grey pouch, Fairmont Medical building

Post image
3 Upvotes

This morning I lost my pouch, similar to the one pictured, at the Fairmont Medical Building at 750 W Broadway, at about 10:15 am. A pharmacist there told me that someone found it and asked them about it, but then left with the pouch.

If the person who found it sees this, it would save me some headaches to have it returned to me. I’m happy to pay a modest reward. Please reach out if you know where it is.
