Garden Route Therapy

I was so inspired after attending a community picnic at the New Horizons Bosnian Garden located in Tom Riley Park (west-end of the city).  I got to take part in the delicious lunch consisting of tables full of homemade Bosnian delights.  Thank you to my friend Zora, who is the Garden Coordinator, for the special invitation.

In only its second growing season, the production of food at this community garden for seniors is incredible.  The main goal of the garden is to reduce the isolation of seniors and from the turnout, picnic tables overflowing, it is evident that a real sense of community pride has been established for all involved.  Funding for the garden comes from Social Development Canada under the New Horizons for Seniors Program and strong support from City of Toronto Parks.
