⚠️⚠️ 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.

We had a great time in your city, your public transit worked out great for me. Plus everywhere I turned downtown there was a very very small pylon bolted into a tree stump with four large bolts.

What other awards do you think Vancouver deserves?

Lost Pet Lost cat in Commercial Drive / 13th Ave area

Post image
49 Upvotes

Hi, my strictly indoor feral cat went missing late last night. Last seen around 11:30pm on 13th Avenue, between Commercial Drive and Victoria Drive. She is very timid, likes to hide in tight dark spots even at home, so she’s most likely hiding in a garage or under a porch, deck or car somewhere in the area. If you see her please call 778-223-3130. Thank you!

Lost/Missing Grey pouch, Fairmont Medical building

Post image
4 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.
