Community Gardens

Community gardens are plots of land divided up between local residents who grow their own fruits, vegetables and flowers. The community garden is a piece of rural life in a urban setting. These gardens owe their existence to the community.  The idea of the SAP (Seneca Agricultural Project) arose in discussing world issues and Seneca's sustainability. It is an ideal project to involve students and reduce food pressure on third wold countries. No project is too small to help!

Community gardens are one of the most popular activities in Canada; you get exercise, community interaction and eat what you grow! how many of you have tried fresh green onions or tomatoes? if you have you know how amazing it is. All that effort that has gone into making that one tomato and when you bite down on it, it melts in your mouth like a smore but soo much better!  As students how many of us have gone to the grocery store and looked at all that food that just don't taste as good as locally grown food. With a community garden you can have fresh food for Free!!!
