In Winter 2019, students and faculty in Interdisciplinary Studies 300 came together from Biology, Indigenous Studies, Visual Arts, History, and English to work on developing the vision of the new garden. UFV had moved its campus, and the Shakespeare garden at the Yale Road site–which had been designed by a UCFV Agricultural class led by Nancy Moore–had been abandoned.  We set out to honour the three programs that contributed to the former garden (Agriculture, Theatre, and Health Sciences) and to honour the Friends of the Theatre group, and other volunteers, who contributed time and resources to the project.  We also set out with awareness that the CEP campus sits in Stó:lō territory.  With guidance from Shirley Hardman and Alan Reid, our class also received guidance and knowledge from guest speakers and Elders including Terry Prest, Yvonne Tumangday, Sonny McHalsie, Ian Fenwick, Nancy Moore, Virginia Cooke, Larry Commodore, Carrielynn Victor, and Mark Goudsblom.  As stated in the students’ presentation to the Indigenization Committee of Senate, “”Our aim for this space is to create a garden that is inviting for all to come and enjoy, to rest, to contemplate, to learn, to be, and to share their story. In the overall goal of reconciliation, the plants in the space will honour and celebrate the former Shakespeare garden while at the same time bring awareness, recognition, and honour to the Indigenous Stó:lō land this garden will be planted on.”
