“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.”

“We learn from our gardens to deal with the most urgent question of the time: How much is enough?”

- Wendell Berry

Green Oasis on Broadview is a joint effort between social enterprise groups and a charitable foundation to green up the properties located behind the Loblaws on Broadview Ave, South of Danforth in Riverdale, Toronto. The Green Gardeners Community Collaborative, the Greener Side Ecological Solutions, and ChocoSol Horizontal traders and chocolatiers are working with the Seeds of Hope Foundation to create a beacon of change in the urban agriculture movement currently under way in Toronto. Social justice, social innovation, and economic feasibility, celebrated through concrete examples and a growing social network.

Because of the many wonderful ideas expressed by the partners in early sessions it was deemed a good idea to put some of our ideas on the web to see if our enthusiasm for the Green Oasis on Broadview would be contagious.
