Details

Laura Reinsborough is the Founder and Coordinator of Not Far From The Tree, Toronto's urban fruit picking project. Hailing from Sackville, New Brunswick where she began working in environmental education, her first job in Toronto was in urban agriculture at the High Park Children's Garden. She has since received a Master's degree in Community Arts from the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University. Laura has developed community arts programming for a variety of cultural institutions such as the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Art Gallery of York University, and the Toronto District School Board. She now applies her creativity to issues of urban agriculture and food security through Not Far From The Tree, one piece of the city's food puzzle. The program was selected as a finalist for a Green Toronto Award after its first year of operations and is currently featured in Toronto Life as one of "50 reasons to love Toronto now."
