Welcome to the fifth of the Headwires series, a series of caches that'll bring you to drawn out, and somewhat peaceful parts of the city. The following cache is located in the edge of a park that I happened to have discovered as I walked around one day in the area. It's right by Leaside and Thorncliffe Park, and is accessible by car, foot and transit. Just be sure to bring a water bottle, some bug spray and sunscreen just in case, you never know when you'll need em. This cache specifically brings you to the edge of a slope that grants a great view of the ravine/valley you may or may not have gone by as you went through other caches in this park. I planned a cache like this for a few weeks, and had this container fitted specifically for this cache. In this cache, I invite you as an alternative to a written log, to draw how you feel or how your day has been just up to the moment of finding this cache. I recommend even using the view to inspire you in what you'd like to draw. Please, however, leave the cache as you found it and keep the log book inside it's bag. AND, bring any writing instrument you see fit for this cache, whether it's a pen, pencil, lipstick, charcoal, ink, nail lacquer, tea, or chalk, or anything else your mind is set upon. I encourage you guys to make a unique impression in this book, although you don't have to Don't be afraid to experiment folks, and leave things in the container.
Nearby the cacheis a community garden. The Thorncliffe Park Garden Club is a thriving community garden that's been in operation since 1973. The garden area has 100 individual plots and the gardeners have a Plant A Row, Grow a Row plot, with all produce from that plot donated to the Scott Mission. The Scott Mission is a Christian, non-denominational urban mission responding to the needs of the poor, homeless, abandoned and vulnerable of all ages. Based in Toronto, the Mission offers practical, emotional and spiritual support to thousands of people every year. The garden has over 100 gardeners with varying ethnic backgrounds. It's run as a non-profit organization and is supported by the Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation department. Many long-time gardeners still participate in the community garden.
