On Gerrard Street in busy East Chinatown sits the tall Eastdale Collegiate Institute. A concrete institution at first glance, but climb the school’s five storeys and you’ll discover Eden.
On the school’s rooftop, a terrace opens onto Toronto’s skyline; high above the neighbourhood’s surrounding buildings. It’s there that row upon row of fresh garden fruits, veggies and herbs sit growing, waiting for harvest.
