We will be using elements from these designs to create the new layout of Green Thumbs UP!

You’re invited to join us for a Community Engagement Session on Friday, March 27th from 3–5pm to help shape the future of our new urban farm, Green Thumbs UP!

The meeting will take place on the 3rd floor in Meeting Rm 1 of the Daniels Spectrum building (585 Dundas St E) overlooking the green roof. We want your input on what should be grown, what kinds of workshops to offer, and how we can make the best of this new space.

Can’t make it in person? We still want to hear from you! Please share your ideas through our short survey:

We’re expanding the Green Thumbs UP rooftop farm and we want your ideas! Our current 2,000 sq ft farm has 4 long crop rows, sunflower + corn patches, and pollinator gardens... now you get to help design the next 2,000 sq ft! ✨

Think beyond rows - add themed gardens, berry bushes, benches, micro prairies, meditation spaces, pathways, & more! Let your creativity grow! The layout doesn’t need to be straight or traditional.

📐 Use our blank map (keep scale in mind!)
🎨 Design online or print + draw!
✍️ Include a list of plants, special features, any plant stories, and your name + email + postal code.

📩 Submit by April 10, 2026: First 10 designs get a Green Thumbs tote bag!
🏆 All designs will influence the new rooftop farm layout.
🎉 Farm design will be unveiled at our Spring is in the Air event on April 26, 2026!
