Did you know there are programs in Toronto to match people with garden space to people that need garden space?!

How does it work?

People with garden space lend the space to people that want to plant. Then everyone shares in the harvest.

You may be thinking, I have space in my garden, but why would I want to share it?!

The arrangement can be a win win scenario for both parties.

For the party lending the space:

• Their garden is cultivated by someone else
• It has the potential to look very nice
• Everyone shares in the harvest – so yes, the potential for free veggies all summer!
• You are building community
