Medicine Garden Coming Soon to Trent Durham
The new Medicine Garden, expected to open this fall, will serve as a place to gather as we remember, honour, and reflect on the lasting impact of residential and day schools
The Medicine Garden is currently under construction to accommodate the campus’ growing Indigenous community.
This space will feature new garden beds for traditional medicines that will be used in First Peoples House of Learning events, and a healing pathway that will be a place of reflection and cultural connection for students, staff, faculty, and the community.
Another part of the project is the raising of a new 30-foot Tipi next to the garden. The new Tipi will be a welcoming place, expected to include stone benches and a permanent firepit.
The new space will open this fall, thanks to the generosity of donors.
