Green Thumbs Growing Kids is a remarkable brand that focuses on for-impact food and nature literacy programs in the heart of downtown east Toronto. With partnerships established with schools, city authorities, and community agencies, Green Thumbs works towards fostering urban agriculture, promoting greenspace enjoyment, and enhancing physical and mental health benefits. Their engaging school garden programs cater to individuals of all ages and backgrounds, providing diverse settings such as native plantings, meadow ecosystems, and mini-nurseries with native tree species.

Additionally, they offer small-scale agriculture programs that include the production of kid-friendly small fruits and vegetables. Green Thumbs puts a strong emphasis on environmental education by offering classroom workshops on food-related topics and the environment. When the weather gets cold, they bring the garden inside, ensuring that learning continues throughout the year.

To further support their mission, Green Thumbs has a Partnership Agreement with the Toronto District School Board and serves a cluster of schools. Founded by Sunday Harrison in 1999, Green Thumbs has grown from an after-school gardening program for 6-12 year olds at Riverdale Farm to a thriving organization that impacts the community positively. Through their dedication and passion, Green Thumbs is creating a greener and more sustainable future for children and their families in downtown Toronto
