Downtown School Unveils One of Toronto's Only School Ground Food Gardens

Withrow Avenue Public School today opened its new vegetable garden located on its school grounds. The food garden is a new initiative that is part of a growing trend on school grounds around the world. Teachers are using the garden as a true outdoor classroom to deliver curriculum to students of all grades - including lessons on plant growth, sustainability, history, math, science, nutrition and health, all through direct, hands-on experiential learning.
