TORONTO COMMUNITY GARDEN NETWORK

The Toronto Community Garden Network (TCGN) is working to encourage a healthy, vibrant community gardening movement in the City of Toronto, linking and supporting community gardeners. As of 2000 Toronto has 94 community garden sites The Network is sponsored by FoodShare and receives support from a number of other organizations. These include Evergreen, Greenest City, and the Toronto Food Policy Council.

TCGN hosts workshops on a variety of topics of interest to gardeners; sends out a regular email newsletter about gardening, the environment and food security issues; hosts special events such as our annual Seedy Saturday (March), community garden tour (July) and a harvest celebration (September); we also negotiate discounts with local garden retailers. We are also in the process of putting together a resource centre.
