Grow-to-Learn
Schoolyard Gardens

Connecting and transforming communities.
PACT Grow-to-Learn (GTL) teaches schools and communities about food and gardening. GTL feeds families and seniors in under-resourced neighbourhoods, it creates safe, green spaces for pollinators, and it transforms communities in the Greater Toronto Area.
Our organic school gardens/urban farms provide safe, experiential, and positive learning environments and help to raise awareness of important issues related to healthy eating, nutrition, environmental sustainability, and food security in our schools and local communities.
PACT has partnered with both of Toronto’s main school boards 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.
