Regent Park: Residential Community Garden
Building relationships within Toronto neighbourhoods is very important to My Edible Garden (MEG).

In partnership with the Regent Park Community Health Centre, and with the help of over 15 volunteers, My Edible Garden contributed the labour and materials to build 89 plant boxes and revitalized a downtown community garden. Several local non profit agencies that provide food for their members own a plot in the garden, including 416 Community Support for Women and The Good Shepherd.
