FARMBOX
AS SEEN ON
WHAT ARE ALL THESE BOXES?
You may have noticed a planter box in front of a house or on a corner in your neighbourhood. Farmbox is a project connecting the people of Toronto to their food.
Launched in 2021, there are now thousands of Farmboxes all over Toronto helping locals grow food in underused spaces. Do you live in a condo or a basement with low light, or have no usable outdoor space to grow food? Want to transform a patch of dirt nearby into an herb garden? Farmbox (and you) will make it happen.
All Farmboxes are made from upcycled fence & deck boards which would otherwise be dumped in landfills.
THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS SERVED!
TAKE A PLANT, LEAVE A PLANT, EAT A PLANT. If you see basil or berries or a shishito pepper you'd like to eat, enjoy! Want to contribute a plant—please do! The power of having food plants on our streets is only unlocked if you get involved. Pop over with some tap water! Pluck weeds! Remove trash! Sing to them!
