Get matched →The Art Gallery of Burlington's Community and Medicine Garden, supported by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, has transformed the Gallery's waterfront grounds into a living classroom where art, ecology, and community come together. Developed in partnership with BurlingtonGreen and Grow Native Halton, and in collaboration with Elder Michele Dent, the initiative increases biodiversity while creating opportunities for creative learning, environmental stewardship, and hands-on artistic practice.
Visitors are invited to experience the gardens through a series of artist- and Elder-led workshops that explore natural materials, Indigenous knowledge, and sustainable artmaking.
The AGB's Community and Medicine Garden provides opportunities to learn about native plants and their applications in natural dyeing, textile arts, and sustainable craft practices. The gardens provide environmentally conscious materials that inspire creativity and deepen connections between art and the natural world. Supported by Backed By Bees, on-site beehives contribute to pollination, ecological education, and a thriving habitat for local wildlife.
