Community Garden
This large community garden is located adjacent to the historical John McKenzie House at 34 Parkview Avenue. The project is funded through the City of Toronto's Clean and Beautiful initiative, which successfully renews public spaces with the participation of the community.
The community garden has been planted and community volunteers will be needed to maintain the beautiful space by volunteering some spare time for the upkeep of the garden. If you are interested in the project and/or in being a volunteer please check out the website above to obtain additional information.
Parkview Neighbourhood Garden is a neighbourhood market garden, located next to the historic John McKenzie House as 34 Parkview Avenue. Local volunteers gather to garden, sell produce, and host educational and social events.
