Description

The Trent Vegetable Gardens (TVG) is a volunteer driven levy group at Trent University. We operate two garden sites at Trent, the Rooftop Garden, which is located on top of the Environmental Science Complex, and the Field Garden, which can be found north of the DNA building. The gardens take inspiration from organic, intensive, permaculture, and Indigenous agricultural methods, and strive to practice low-impact ecological agriculture. The TVG seeks to reconnect students and community members with the source of their food by providing opportunities for individuals to learn about ecological agriculture, hands-on gardening skills and food system issues. These learning opportunities take the form of workshops, student research projects, community service learning projects and work bees, as well as paid and volunteer positions. We also manage a campus community garden offering individual plots to students and community members wishing to grow their own food in a supportive environment. Food grown in the Trent Vegetable Gardens is primarily given to the Seasoned Spoon Café, but also donated to volunteers and other community organizations like food not bombs and community meal programs. The partnership between the Gardens and the Seasoned Spoon Cafe represent the completion of a sustainable field to table food system at Trent and provides students with access to campus-grown foods at affordable prices
