Welcome to Perth Dupont Community Garden Website

This site was founded on February 23, 2007, with the help of CELOS.

Started just as a garden with individual plots in 2005 by the City Councillor Adam Giambrone, it has been transformed into a thriving Community Garden. With ethnic and lifestyle diversity, our garden is a place to grow food, flowers, friendships, and personal social and leadership skills.

The families and single people in the garden all have their own plot, and share in the care of the common area gardens, such as the Front Flower bed, the Herb Garden, the Raspberry patch, and The Butterfly Garden. We also have a Sharing Garden. The three to four hundred pounds of food grown in it each year is donated to the Stop Community Food Centre, located just north of our garden.

The Grade Five and Six Class from the

Perth Ave. public School, and the friends from GreenHere, October 2009 -Bulb Planting Day.

As you look through the website you will notice that each year has been documented, and has a theme. The theme for 2009 is leadership skills, and we hope to further organize ourselves to accomplish some much need fundraising, and to strengthen our communications within the group, especially with regards to announcements and meetings.

We have a section for gardening tips and research that we have done regarding the plants that we are growing. You can also look In The Garden Shed for resources related to gardening, you will even find some recipes. We also have information about other Community Gardens in the City of Toronto and the GTA.

The Perth Dupont Community Garden is located just outside the downtown core of Toronto, in the west end. We are one block west of Symington Ave, just north of Dupont St. The only entrance to the garden is on Perth Ave, Location
