By that I mean where I provide the use of my backyard and in return I get a share of veggies from my garden and others. I've heard of this before, but not sure if we have this in Toronto. It's a good way to get fresh, local, organic produce for free. The gardeners make a profit from selling some of the produce. Thanks.

Where about are you located? Thu Mar 12 14:59:28 -0700 2009 4498665 13707 JennaBean 2 4501381 I'm in the Danforth area of Toronto - an area where I'm sure there would be lots of willing participants. You said you know of a few in Toronto, can you please let me know who they are? Thanks. Fri Mar 13 09:17:44 -0700 2009 4499124 186779 janel 1 4499909 I'd be interested in the answer to this as well. Alternatively, if there's a community garden program where you can get a small plot to work on in a shared space, that would be nice too.

Foodshare is a great resource to at least find answers to these questions.

It supports seniors and people with Diabetes type 2, it has a childrens garden and is used as a teaching garden for youths. You can grow veggies, herbs, flowers, trees, shrubs, perrenials, annuals the works. Home Depot helps prepare the beds, and they have a harvest party etc. Sorry don't know how to do a link but google East York Community Garden and all the info is there. Not sure about the waiting list though.
