It's a mostly volunteer endeavour, with volunteers planning, planting, weeding, researching heritage period varieties and, of course, harvesting the goodies.
Sometimes Museum staff members need to help out.
On one of Vancouver's last sunny days, we stayed out after lunch to shell the scimitar peas:
Some of the seeds will remain at the Museum for next spring's planting. Others, we'll trade to other heritage gardeners around Canada. Still others will be on sale at Treefest, a free celebration of horticulture in the neighbouring city of Coquitlam.
