About Us

Mama's Healing Garden is a grassroots organization formed by residents of Rexdale, who have experienced systemic inequities firsthand. We are a Toronto-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to addressing food insecurity, promoting holistic health, and empowering Toronto’s Black and Afro-Indigenous communities. We provide access to locally grown, nutritious food and offer culturally relevant wellness services that honor Indigenous and African traditions. Through youth engagement, leadership programs, and community partnerships, we aim to foster self-sufficiency and improve the overall well-being of marginalized communities.

Our Community Focus

At Mama's Healing Garden, we believe in the strength of community. We've created a safe space where individuals connect, learn, and uplift one another. Together, we weave a tapestry of strength, unity, and positive change.

Growing for Change

Our unique approach to fighting poverty involves teaching the community to grow their own food. Our Summerlea Park Community Garden turns neglected spaces into vibrant hubs of organic produce. We're not just providing nourishment; we're fostering self-reliance and breaking barriers.

Empowerment through Education

Education is empowerment. Beyond gardening, we offer holistic personal and professional development. Through workshops, mentorship, and skill-building, we equip individuals with the tools they need to succeed, fostering leadership, creativity, and resilience.

Our Vision

Our vision is clear: a thriving community built on healing and empowerment. Individuals embracing potential, families flourishing, and positive change echoing through generations. Mama's Healing Garden is a movement, a catalyst for transformation, and a symbol of unity.
