Community GardeningSince 2006, EcoSource has been working to bring community gardening to Peel. 2010 brings us into the third year of our new Community Gardens Program. We are proud to partner with the Multicultural Inter-Agency Group of Peel (MIAG) and the City of Mississauga on this project. Through the Community Gardens Program, we are working to develop Community Gardens and School Learning Gardens throughout Peel Region. This initiative is generously funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
We are currently working on four municipal community garden projects in the Region of Peel. Our largest garden, the Garden of the Valley at Mississauga Valley Park, entered its fifth season in 2010 with 40 plots of organic foods and flowers under cultivation! The Hillside Park Community Garden at Hillside Park in Clarkson opened for its first season in 2009. In 2010 we are excited to embark on the Malton Community Garden Project in Elmcreek Park and the Generation Garden Project at Parkway Green. We are also excited to continue supporting the Punjabi Community Health Services on their Sahara Seniors Garden, as well as new garden projects with the Village Keepers Day Care Cooperative and the Palgrave Environmental Committee. We look forward to supporting the establishment of more projects - visit us again soon for updates! Over the course of the gardening season, we also offer many free public events and workshops… be sure to visit our get involved page for more information! |
