SEEDS OF OUR CITY - COMMUNITY GARDEN TOUR 2002

The Seeds of Our City Tour visited 4 of the gardens that FoodShare studied to learn more about what is grown in Toronto's diverse gardens and how the gardeners strengthen their community through gardening together.

Pictured above is Michael Ramdharry (L) property manager and Toronto Community Garden Network Steering Committee member with gardeners from the Kipling Garden.

Picture above is The Maloca Garden, on the campus of York University, named after a central part of Amazonian life --the "maloca" or heart of the village.

Pictured above is our 3rd stop, the Shamba Garden of Seeds of Our City partner the Afri-Can FoodBasket. Umbrellas came out as Anan and Tafari showed us the garden's many highlights.

Pictured above is our final stop, before winding up at Field To Table Centre for a meal together, the Scadding Court Community Centre's "Preserving Out Health Community Garden". There was much to see--a greenhouse, worm composting project, herb gardens and handpainted plot signs, as well as an abundance of flowers and vegetables.
