Hi there! My name's Natalie and I've created this blog to keep friends and community members up to date on all the fun, interesting and challenging things happening at Lakeshore Collegiate's community garden.
This garden is run through an organization called PACT, which, among other things, has created a series of organic learning gardens on 6 high school properties in "at risk" neighbourhoods across the GTA. Our aim is to teach youth how to grow their own food, learn about nutrition, and provide healthy, affordable food to the surrounding community.
All food grown through our PACT program sites will be delivered to the local food banks in each area! (can't get more affordable than FREE!)
Working with staff and students from the host school, as well as nutrition and education students from Ryerson and OISE, our gardens are already facilitating a variety of projects and learning opportunities.
Stay posted for all the goings-on as the season progresses!
Happy Farming!
Natalie
