It is warmer outside, and it is time for planting crops.
The Lakeshore Environmental Gardening Society (LEGS) is holding its Plant Exchange that runs from May 15 to June 15.
Plants can be picked up or dropped off at a number of local locations. Just look for the green Plant Library & Exchange Sign.
The aim of the group is to ‘grow food security and educate the public on permaculture, organic and urban safe food growing practices throughout the South Etobicoke region.’
“We strive to support, connect and create spaces that support vulnerable communities and anyone that wants and needs access to healthy, fresh, and affordable food,’ according to LEGS website.
They also have a food forest garden with permaculture and organic principles at the Daily Bread Food Bank, at 191 New Toronto St.
The group supports people growing plants in their own gardens and exchanging plants, seeds and conversations.
You can pick up for drop off plants at: Mimico Baptist Church, 80 Hillside Ave., on Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; The Healing Muse Apothecary, 2859 Lake Shore Blvd. W., Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Primrose Ave. and Lake Shore
