SAFS Society Member, Jonothan Duffy was honoured with 1 of 2 scholarships offered by the Peterborough Horticultural Society. "Jonathan Duffy, is a second year student in the new Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems program at Trent. He lives on an organic farm just outside Peterborough where he is learning first-hand the different techniques of organic farming. He volunteers at the Trent vegetable gardens at the University and has also volunteered as a tree-planter and is a full participant in the Trent Sustainable Agriculture and Food Safety Society Club.
“First, I would like thank the Peterborough Horticulture society for this scholarship. It will provide a great opportunity for me to connect with the community in Peterborough. My thinking is that this is only the start for me. Along with other Agriculture and Horticulture students, we will strengthen our ties to the initiatives of this community through groups like the Peterborough Horticultural Society and others on the city. Together, we can help you build a bigger and stronger gardening and farming community in this city,” said Mr. Duffy, who hopes to make use of his horticulture knowledge after graduation by operating an urban farm or working with small not-for-profit organizations to help to integrate mini-farms and gardens into urban environments."
Good for you Jon! SAFS students, this scholarship is available every year to qualifying students at Trent and Fleming College who are studying horticulture or horticulture-related fields.
