The Trent Vegetable Gardens (TVG) is a volunteer driven levy group at Trent University. We operate two ecological garden sites at Trent Univeristy

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

Rain again! This week there will be not a volunteer event for garlic planting on Thursday October 30th. Thanks to everyone who came out to help plant garlic at our field garden!

Hey folks! The rain is working against us- we are postponing our garlic planting again. The new date is October 30th, from 1pm-3pm on the rooftop. This event takes place during our regularly scheduled drop in hours! Consider taking some time to join us!

Due to the rain, we are moving around our volunteer hours! Next week, our only volunteer drop in hours will be held on Thursday, October 23rd to plant out the rest of the garlic.

Hope to see you there!
