Our regenerative home gardener course is wrapping up for the year! We have our last of four classes at the end of this month, and the ten participants are leaving with new skills, a sense of community, and veggies galore! This was the first year that the course took place in the new raised beds, made in partnership with ReWood. Interested in joining next year? Reach out to Emily at info@sandowncentre.com

Big news - we now have a gathering space on site! Thank you to Growing Young Farmers' Society and Victoria Foundation for making this possible!









Our two-part series on biologically active soil was a wonderful success! Thank you to everyone who came out to Sandown Centre and UVic to learn about healthy soil with E. Brooke Hayes, Director of the UVic Ecogastronomy Lab!


Until next time, stay tuned and thank you for your continued support!

​© 2025 Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture

The Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the SENĆOŦEN-speaking W̱S͸ḴEM (Tseycum) peoples of the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation. We acknowledge their deep, ongoing relationship with this land and waters, which has sustained their communities since time immemorial.

Regenerative agriculture is deeply informed by the wisdom and practices of Indigenous food systems, which have fostered ecological balance and abundance. Colonization violently disrupted these systems, displacing Indigenous peoples from their territories and severing traditional foodways. We recognize that agriculture has been both a tool of oppression and, today, a potential pathway toward justice and reconciliation.

At Sandown, we commit to meaningful action by restoring ecosystems, honoring Indigenous knowledge, supporting food sovereignty, and fostering relationships built on respect, reciprocity, and learning. True regenerative agriculture must include the regeneration of right relationships—with the land, its original stewards, and one another.
