The Centre for Innovation in Health & Wellness is collaborating with the Humber Arboretum, School of Applied Technology, TD Friends of the Environment, and the community to create Humber's Food Learning Garden. 

The purpose of the Food Learning Garden in the Humber Arboretum is to provide a space to learn about local, healthy food and urban agriculture. The garden will be used primarily to:

• Support the learning of Humber College students from a broad range of programs and departments as they help to build, maintain, and utilize the garden for their studies;
• Incorporate local, healthy food grown by Humber College work-study students and Humber Arboretum staff into the menu of the Humber Room. Food will be harvested by students and staff from Humber’s School of Hospitality, Tourism, and Recreation; and
• Educate and inspire children, youth, and community members taking part in the Humber Arboretum’s school, community, and camp programs.

The Learning Garden will be another step towards demnostrating Humber's leading role in sustainability and healthy child development.

On November 16th, 2017, the Centre for Innovation in Health & Wellness will be hosting an interactive symposium at the Centre for Urban Ecology in the Humber Arboretum wherein Humber and the community will be encouraged to identity local food issues affecting food security and health in our local community.
