Garden Resource Network

Garden Resource Network

Discover practical resources, video workshops, and seasonal recipes from the Black Creek Garden Resource Network, Urban Harvest collaborations, and the BCCF community — all to support learning, growing, and connecting with the land.

What is the Black Creek Garden Resource Network?

Our mission

We will equip Jane and Finch residents with hands-on knowledge and resource sharing, to become local growers through workshops, tools, and accessible information to grow in a variety of home environments.

Our vision

To create an active and accessible network in the Black Creek community to develop resources and skill-sharing about healthy gardening practices.

Explore our collection of free resources from past BCCF gardening workshops and the Black Creek Garden Resource Network. From spring prep to fall harvest, you’ll find helpful fact sheets, presentations, and on-demand workshop recordings to support your growing journey. Happy learning and gardening!
