Students will meet at the Trent Vegetable Gardens (TVG) on East Bank where organizers will welcome everyone to the event, introduce themselves to the the group, and provide a land acknowledgement from the group START. There will be a short ice-breaker game and then the group will take a tour of the TVG, as well as connected projects on site, possibly including the BIPOC Growing Collective and Peterborough Medicine Garden. Students will be invited to participate in community food growing on campus and be shown how to connect with future events at the TVG (30 – 45 mins).
The group will then head up the hill to the Trent Apiary where the hives will be shown (from a distance) and an explanation of apiary activities will be given. Students will be invited to participate in honey harvesting this fall and learn of other ways to become involved in the apiary (30 mins).
The group will then head down the hill to the Trent Experimental Farm where a tour of the Trent Market Garden (part of SAFS) and student research projects will be shown. Depending on harvest size, participants may be able to harvest food grown at the TMG to bring home.
The tour will end with a group tie dye session, with the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems society (SAFS) providing t-shirts and tie dye for the group (1 hr).
