Community Garden Program Lead
(905) 274-6222 ext. 314
Deven is passionate about rebuilding our connection to the natural world and cultivating healthy and resilient communities.
Deven holds a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Youth Care from the Toronto Metropolitan University. Upon graduating, he was awakened to the inequality in our food system and the importance of growing one’s own food to build self and community resilience and has been growing and foraging food ever since. He believes in honoring ancestral traditions through farming, cooking, and wildcrafting.
After spending some time coordinating the Youth in Action and Cultivating Green Champions programs, Deven is excited to be returning to the Local Food team to continue to serve Ecosource’s community garden network.
