Green Thumbs Growing Kids offers food growing and environmental programs with 3 Toronto schools and 2 park sites. The neighborhoods they take place in are all in the east downtown areas of Regent Park, Cabbagetown and St James Town.
Their programs now reach nearly 3000 children from these east downtown neighborhoods each year. Their school food garden projects are about kids, parents, and plants.
Their mission is to work with children in urban areas, youth and their families to learn about growing and preparing fresh foods as well as cultivating it in an environmentally sustainable manner in hands on programs.
