The show is open for participation to urban gardeners from 3 years old to 103 years young, and participation conditions are to use salvaged, recycled, or DIY handcrafted containers, and 70% of the plant material has to be edible (either the whole plant or parts of it). What to grow is only limited by your imagination: grow a mini herb garden in a shoe, or an edible flower garden in an old car tire. If you can get it to the show without the use of a truck and a crane, the size is up to you, but we prefer you use sustainable transportation options: wheelbarrow, wagon, bike trailer, bundle buggy, TTC, carpool…

Help spread the enthusiasm and experience for growing edible containers by exhibiting your funky bucket of homegrown eats at this first-time event!

Send your submission by Friday July 24 with a description of your design, materials used, motivation behind the design, and a couple of sentences about yourself and your urban small space gardening experience to contact@torontobalconiesbloom.ca, listing “ECG show” in the subject line.

We still need volunteers for the preparation of the event and on the day of, and if you can help please contact Roberta at withrowpfm@gmail.com or at 416-461-2825.

The Withrow Park Farmers' Market is located one block south of Greektown on the Danforth, between Carlaw and Logan. Closest subway stops are Chester and Pape. Visit withrowpark.ca and torontobalconiesbloom.ca for more information about the show organizers.
