Grow-A-Row is a program operating in many Canadian communities, which among other things, provides gardeners the opportunity to grow a row of vegetables or fruit in their gardens, planter boxes or containers and to share the harvest with neighbours in need by donating the produce to the local food banks and meal programs.
