The GARDENS Pod Sites are located in Adobigok, known as “Place of the Black Alders” in the Ojibwe Anishinaabe language. The land on which they are built is uniquely situated along GabeKanang Ziibi, the Humber River, providing an integral connection for Indigenous peoples between the northern shore of Lake Ontario and the Lake Simcoe Georgian Bay region. In honouring the land, we are walking in the moccasin tracks of our ancestors and leaving our footprints for the future generations to come.
