Weed Party Wednesdays

$0.00

way slaxłaxt! (Hello friends!)

Join us for Weed Party Wednesdays, a weekly, land-tending session at the nsisúlaʔxʷ Food Forest. Together, we pull weeds, loosen soil, check on plants, and help keep this young Indigenous food forest thriving through the seasons.

Experience: Weed Party Wednesdays – nsisúlaʔxʷ Food Forest
Day: Every Wednesday
Start Time: 8:00–8:30 AM (drop-in window)
End Time: Finish time depends on the season and weather conditions
Location: nsisúlaʔxʷ Food Forest, 11745 Westside Road (between Vernon and West Kelowna)

This is slow, steady work with good company: hands in the dirt, morning light on the land, and time to catch up while we care for food and medicine plants.

What to Expect

Each Wednesday, we’ll:

  • Focus on weeding, mulching, and general plant care in different zones of the food forest

  • Learn to recognize key weeds vs. food and medicine plants

  • Talk about seasonal needs, what the land is asking for at this particular time

  • Move at a gentle pace that honours bodies, weather, and capacity

You don’t need any gardening experience to join, just a willingness to learn, listen, and help. You’re welcome to stay for the whole morning or just a portion; every bit of help supports the plants.

420-Friendly Space

Weed Party Wednesdays are 420-friendly for adults. Once minors are present on site, there will be designated zones for smoking so that families, youth, and all participants can feel comfortable and safe in the space. We ask everyone to be respectful, discreet, and mindful of wind, proximity, and consent.

What to Bring

To be comfortable on the land, please bring:

  • Sturdy footwear (the terrain is uneven in places)

  • Weather-appropriate clothing you don’t mind getting dirty (layers, sun hat, rain gear as needed)

  • Personal water bottle

  • Snacks for yourself if you’ll be staying a while

  • Optional: gardening gloves, kneeling pad, favourite hand tools (we will have some tools available)

Who This Is For

  • Folks who want a regular, low-pressure way to support an Indigenous food forest

  • People looking for gentle, outdoor movement and community connection

  • Learners curious about weeds, soil, and seasonal plant care

  • Those who just like starting their Wednesday with fresh air, good company, and a bit of sweat

If you love the idea of midweek mornings spent outside, with dirt on your hands and fewer weeds in the ground than when you arrived, Weed Party Wednesdays are for you.
