Toronto Urban Agriculture Week starts TOMORROW!

[Rhonda Teitel-Payne]

This is it everyone! The 9 days when we celebrate your hard work starts tomorrow!

Two things you can do to get us some good buzz:

1. Get out to a UA Week event or two!

Check out https://uaweekto.wordpress.com/ag-week-events/ and support some of the fabulous urban agriculture projects across the city. 

I could rave about every event listed, but this year I'm particularly excited about some of the rare opportunities to visit private gardens: 

• You've seen it on Facebook, now you can see it in person! Visit Jewel Gomes' experimental garden grows heirloom tomatoes, creative re-use strategies and new friendships. Saturday, Sept 21
  
• Wild By Nature Botanicals is hosting two tours at Maria's homestead in East York on Sept 17 & 19. Luscious herbs meet community building and learning!
  
• Brothers Stefan and Lukas Sirianni are offering tours of their hydroponics systems at etobiGrow on Sept 20. What's more compelling, a room full of aromatic basil or their thriving business model?
  

2. Get the word out!

• Like and follow our Facebook event page
  
• Find events and updates on Instagram
  
• Let's get to 1,000 posts with #iGrowTO - use it on all your Toronto urban ag-related posts
  

BTW - don't forget to look at the TUG map and send us info on new UA sites and any corrections. We need your help to keep the info up to date and accurate!   https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/4/edit?mid=1AKxP78FZcOFN2YPpiNeGm-v4yS-dRO0&usp=sharing

Happy UA Week!
