Veggie Derby and Best in GrowTO Contest

[Rhonda Teitel-Payne]

Hi everyone,

As we move in to the last few days of Urban Ag Week, there are a couple of exciting announcements.

1. Veggie Derby prizes

We have door prizes for Veggie Derby participants! If you have donated produce you've grown in Toronto and you report your donation by 5:00 pm on Saturday, you'll receive a grower swag bag and be entered in a draw for planter boxes created by the Toronto Community Benefits Network's NexGen Builders project.

We've also posted some ideas for donation locations if you're not sure where to donate your produce. 

See details at https://uaweekto.wordpress.com/veggie-derby/

2. Best in GrowTO Contest Awards - Sunday, September 19 1:00-2:00 pm

Come feast your eyes on some of Toronto's best urban produce and gardens as the BiGTO judges' panel announces the winners of this year's contest. 

You can book a ticket for the Zoom event at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/best-in-growto-awards-2021-tickets-172854180507 or drop in on FB live at @tourbangrowers (no Facebook account or registration required).

TUG would like to acknowledge that the land on which we work is the historical territory of the Wendat, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Seneca and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River nations.  The territory is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Covenant, an agreement between the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. All of us who live and work in Tkaronto (Toronto) are treaty people, so we invite everyone to think about our responsibilities to this land and water, and to the peoples who have cared for this place for thousands of years.
