Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation with support from Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation, is planning to construct a straw bale teaching kitchen in High Park in 2011. Building structures of natural materials on municipal property can be a challenge, as the Friends of Dufferin Grove Park can attest to.
This is a natural complement to the award-winning High Park Children’s Garden, a food and ornamental garden utilizing organic and permaculture techniques.
The Foundation is running a buy-a-bale program. You can visit the Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation web site to participate.
I would like to help build when this project is ready. Please notify me for volunteer opportunities.
