Seniors, students, community volunteers and agency staff support the development of perennial gardens and a herb garden for community seniors at Greenwood Towers (Toronto Community Housing). Students from Danforth Collegiate spearheaded a grant application for United Way funding to purchase trees, shrubs and plants, and coordinated a community planting event. The seniors volunteers continue to maintain the gardens with the support of the neighbouring high school students.

Seniors and students are “growing together”
in gardening programs
developed in various locations throughout Toronto.
