Scope and Content: John Wuzinski and grandson Nikolas in their yard at Cliff Avenue and Curtis Street. They are harvesting concord grapes grown on the property. As of 2016, the grapevines were still growing at the house. They were planted in the early 1970s. Janice freezes the juice to drink or to use for grape jelly.

History: John and Frances Wuzinski moved from Manitoba to Burnaby in 1944, where they purchased an acre of land on the corner of Hastings Street and Cliff Avenue. They had two daughters: Janice and Mary Louise. They grew berries, fruit and vegetables for home and for sale, and raised bees. People came from miles around to purchase strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes and honey. In 1962 the Wuzinski property was expropriated by the Municipality of Burnaby, and the family purchased another property nearby. They started a new garden, brought the bees, and transplanted several trees to the new property.
