Historical Gardening Project

There is a bit of history growing in Brock’s community garden this summer! Fourth year history students Goran Irandost and Kaylin Currie have been working with Associate Professor Elizabeth Vlossak on a directed research course to research and recreate historical gardens. The students meant with Vlossak in May to discuss what historical periods they were interested, then began researching the history of gardening and food culture in their chosen eras. They researched what plants were grown, how gardens were laid out, and what techniques were used in cultivation. Not all the research has been in the library and archives, though. Currie and Irandost have had to put their knowledge to work in the garden. Each has a plot in Brock’s community garden where they are attempting to grow period-appropriate plants using historic techniques. Follow the students’ experiences on the Faculty blog and Instagram (#BrockHistoricalGardens). Read the full article in Brock News.
