Growing for Green”, a gardening group based in Toronto’s Ward 21, offers educational workshops, garden tours, volunteer gardening opportunities and social networking to local gardeners.
In 2009 the group’s members founded Toronto’s first community orchard. Located in Ben Nobleman Park near Eglinton West subway station, it includes 9 fruit trees including pears, plums and cherries.
The group is working to help apartment-dwelling Torontonians link up with with homeowners who have garden space to spare so they can plant vegetable gardens through the Sharing Backyard program.
