Graveley Street

Commercial Drive Area, Vancouver, BC, Canada // Garden in the back, Hammock on the porch, access to the indoors, stereo, studio and kitchen when I am home.

In 2010, the garden became a community garden, and encouraged people to join us in the process.

Close to 2 big parks, one with a Bocce Ball court, one with drug dealers in the back and Bike Polo on Thursdays. Both with extensive childrens playground, for swinging on in the night time. 2 blocks from Famous Falafel, Home Hardware, Norman’s Fruit and Vegetable Market, and a Gelato place with non-dairy options. If you foot it an extra block (for a total of 3 blocks) you can make it to a 24 hour convenience store known as The Fig Mart.
