Program Description: On the Rooftop Garden at Collingwood Neighbourhood House, we grow fresh vegetables for use in the Neighbourhood House’s many food and cooking programs. Our garden is a demonstration site showing how to grow food organically and in small urban spaces, such as balconies or small raised beds.
