This NEW series will inspire you to grow, prepare and eat fresh locally-grown produce. You will learn how we grow our vegetables and fruits and then taste them in dishes prepared by a professional chef. Each evening event will also include a gardening / culinary author each of whom is passionate about locally-grown food and sustainable farming techniques. Paul Zammit, TBG Director of Horticulture hosts each event.

Doors Open
Saturday & Sunday, May 28 & 29, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Visit the TBG Café for freshly prepared jams, drinks and other treats using locally-grown harvestable foods.

Eat Your Greens: Salads, Brunch and more
Thursday, June 29, 7 to 9 p.m.
Not only are greens good for you, they are delicious - particularly when they are prepared by Chef Simon Kattar and a special guest chef. Join us on a green and leafy culinary and horticultural experience as we tour the TBG's container gardens - filled to the brim with a colourful assortment of the freshest greens, pea sprouts, chards, seasonal fruit and more - and then taste these very vegetables and fruits at the cafe. Author of City Farmer: Adventures in Urban Food Growing and well-known garden writer, Lorraine Johnson will join us.

Go Local: Summer Appetizers

So where do you buy locally-grown foods and how do you know what to buy? Urban hunter and gatherer and food columnist for CBC Radio's Here&Now, Sarah Elton, will let you in on all the secret eateries and markets she has discovered. She will also highlight compelling reasons all Canadians should go local (check out her new book, Locavore, for more). Chef Simon Kattar shows his usual magic creating delectable summer appetizers sourced from locally-grown foods and from our kitchen garden.

Viva Italia: Fun Family-Style Meals

Author of Incredible Edibles: 43 Fun Things To Grow In the City and Toronto Star columnist, Sonia Day will give you tips on growing these vegetables and, in her usual exuberant way, show us just how incredible these edibles are.
