Growing Growers at Greenholme Junior Middle School

We were thrilled to bring our Growing Growers workshop to the vibrant young minds at Greenholme Junior Middle School. Huge respect and gratitude to Principal Mr. Omar and his leadership for giving us this incredible opportunity to share knowledge and ignite passion.

Growing Growers plays a vital role in the Zawadi Farm ethos. We believe demystifying the process of growing your own food is essential for fostering sustainable future growers and stewards.

Initially funded by the Zawadi Farm leadership team, this program for TDSB schools has now received additional support from With a developed curriculum, we are more equipped than ever to empower young minds in understanding their role in our food economy.

It’s their future, after all.

Let's grow it together.

🌱 New Workshop at Zawadi Farm! 🌱

We are thrilled to share the success of our inaugural “Zawadi Summer Grow Program” workshop!

We recently had the pleasure of hosting students from the Rexdale Community Kids Program. Together, we explored the wonders of urban farming, the importance of sustainability, and the magic of composting. The students enthusiastically planted vegetables, toured our farm, and engaged in lively discussions about food production and environmental stewardship.

Seeing the next generation so passionate about sustainable practices and urban agriculture fills us with hope for the future. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible, and to the bright young minds who participated—your curiosity and energy are truly inspiring!

We look forward to many more workshops and opportunities to cultivate knowledge and grow together. 🌱🌎✨
