Torontonians are literally returning to their roots with the sudden popularity of urban agricultural pursuits. Simply put little farm plots are sprouting up all across the city. This phenomenon started with the community gardens program initiated by the City of Toronto Parks and Recreation. This initiative benefits everyone by creating a safe, healthy and affordable recreational activity on city-owned lands.
The largest community garden in Toronto is located at Black Creek Pioneer Village near the southwest corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue on 8 acres of land owned and managed by the Toronto and Region Conservation. This farm is operated through a collaboration of organizations from the surrounding neighbourhood. Social agencies, schools, faith groups and businesses all contribute
Toronto’s many community gardens are situated in city-owned: parks, community centres, seniors centres, co-operative housing, churches and schools Some of the neighbourhoods that have a community garden include: Alexandra Park, Earlscourt, Elia, Junction Triangle, Cedarvale, Willowdale, Christie Pitts, Dufferin Grove, Cabbagetown, Fort York, North Toronto, Hillcrest, Regent Park, Thorncliffe, Danforth Village, Don Valley Village, High Park and Riverdale.
