If you’re a fan of photography or gardening – or both – you’ll want to stop by the Burnaby Village Museum this weekend.
A reminder to all fans of urban farming that this weekend is a garden party and artist talk for Ward Teulon: Growing Season, the Burnaby Art Gallery off-site exhibitions that are currently underway at three locations around the city.
The exhibitions are on at Stride Studios at Burnaby Village Museum and two Burnaby Public Library branches – Metrotown (6100 Willingdon Ave.) and McGill (4595 Albert St., North Burnaby).
All three feature the work of Ward Teulon, who has captured Burnaby’s urban gardens, their harvest and the creatures who live in them.
The garden party and artist talk is set for Saturday, June 27 at Burnaby Village Museum. You can tour backyard garden displays and photo exhibits, enjoy live music and sample some refreshments.
Teulon will be on hand, as will representatives from the Burnaby and Region Allotment Garden Association and other local urban farmers.

The sounds of summer
Nothing says summer like outdoor music.
