LEARN URBBAN SCHOOLYARD GARDENING PROGRAM
The PACT Grow to Learn (GTL) Schoolyard Gardening Program
and Food Initiative is designed to teach schools and
communities about food and gardening. The program creates
safe, experiential and positive learning environments in low-
income neighbourhoods, as well as acts as a catalyst in raising
awareness of important issues related to healthy
eating/nutrition, food security, environmental sustainability and
hunger in our schools and local communities.
Over the past six years, PACT has partnered with the TDSB and
TCDSB to expand its Grow to Learn program to meet
community need; creating and transforming unused, often
grey spaces into bountiful organic gardens where children
and youth learn about harvesting food, sustainability and
community building.
