Weedy Wednesdays: Community Stewardship in Toronto's High Park

Weedy Wednesdays is our summer gardening and stewardship program for adults. Each week we will work in OURSpace, our outdoor garden and learning space, or care for one of our stewardship sites in High Park. Activities may include weeding, planting, watering, caring for native Black Oak Savannah plants, and more! Our hope is that you will leave the program feeling more connected to the tall grasses and wildflowers in Toronto’s High Park, to yourself, and to your community!

Price: FREE
Ages: 16+ years
Meeting Location: High Park Forest School, 375 Colborne Lodge Drive

Note: Weedy Wednesdays is a physically demanding program at times. We may be hiking, carrying tools, bending repeatedly, and sitting/kneeling for extended periods. We will provide knee pads, seats, and gloves to make gardening more comfortable. If you require other accommodations, please let us know.
 
Cancelation Due to Weather: Weedy Wednesday sessions will be canceled when extreme weather is forecasted. This includes lightening storms, high winds, heavy rain, and poor air quality. Make up sessions will not be scheduled for canceled Weedy Wednesday sessions.

This event will start at the High Park Forest School building located at 375 Colborne Lodge Drive.

A number of changes were made to the travel network within High Park as part of the High Park Movement Strategy that might influence your decision to drive to High Park. In case you’re driving we strongly recommend you to park your car at the public parking lot near Grenadier Cafe.

We continue to recommend using the TTC or biking as the best way to get to High Park and the Nature Centre. The Nature Centre is situated just a 5-minute walk from the High Park Subway Station.

Please note, High Park is closed to cars on the weekends. If your event is on a weekend, you will need to park outside the park and walk in, or take transit.
