Growing food.
Growing community.
Garden@Kimbourne is a volunteer-driven project that uses permaculture principles to grow food and community in Toronto’s east end. Our harvest is shared between those who grow it and local food banks.
We welcome volunteers with all levels of ability, experience, and availability. To get involved in the garden, please check out our Get Involved - Growing Season page.
About us
Garden@Kimbourne grows food communally rather than in individual allotment-style beds. Our planting scheme is designed at an open meeting in February, and we work together through the growing season to make it a reality. Harvests happen as plants become ready, with volunteers choosing what they want to take home. As soon as we have high enough yields, we hold a weekly organized harvest for a local food bank.
During the summer months, we invite volunteers to join us for a Garden Together session on:
Wednesdays from 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Sundays from 12:00 noon - 2:30 pm
During winter months, we have monthly Traditional Skills sessions. Taking place in person at 2:00 on the 2nd Sunday of the month, our Traditional Skills Sessions are place-based, focus on the natural rhythm of the year, and are centered around our principles of both growing food and growing community.
