Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The purpose of this report is to provide Abbey Gardens with a recommended plan to introduce a mass crop on one of the abandoned gravel pits which is situated on their property. The client is looking to expand their pre-existing horticulture operation. This would be in the form of an apple orchard. The addition of a new apple orchard will expand Abbey Gardens’ current agri-tourism and provide additional economic, educational and environmental benefits through the development of the new horticultural products. The recommendations contained in this report are the result of a project undertaken by third-year Trent University students who conducted the research and evaluated the potential for an apple orchard that is suitable for agricultural zones 3 and 4. Divided into several sections, this report provides the client with recommendations for planting requirements and crop management; tourism potential; and marketing opportunities.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The purpose of this report is to provide Abbey Gardens with a recommended plan on introducing mass cropping on the spent gravel pits and old horse paddock that are situated on the Abbey Gardens property. Abbey Gardens wishes to introduce berries to their current horticulture operation to yield more variety of product and create a more diverse environment to appeal to the public through agritourism. Third year Trent University students, Sarah Bencic and Carling MacDonald, have decided upon four varieties of berries to grow on Abbey Gardens property: elderberries, saskatoon berries, raspberries and blueberries. Based on the conditions presented in agricultural zones three and four, these berries are the most effective in terms of growth and yielding quantities. This berry crop expansion provides higher economic margins, additional educational and agritourism opportunities, and growth through the development of new horticulture products. This report strives to present the possibilities available for Abbey Gardens to grow these species of berries in a way that is organic, sustainable and affordable. Abbey Gardens already has a well-developed infrastructure, as well as great products available at the „Food Hub‟. There is also a diverse collection of partner companies on the property including: a brewery, solar power company and coffee roster. This report is to bolster the ongoing development and programming. The products we are suggesting as marketable from the proposed berry production will go with current branding or can be incorporated in some way with the current layout. All plant related research and recommendations were made with understanding of a limited budget and desire to keep all further expansions sustainable and organic. Additionally, composting material to help build up the soil in the more gravel heavy areas will be required for before some of the planting will be able to progress. This plan will also relate to the fruit tree production also being proposed for development.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Abbey gardens is interested in exploring the potential for a garden tourism project on their property. Garden tourism is defined as a type of tourism that involves travelling away from one’s home to spend time/money in an area designated for horticulture by the property owner. Tourists visit gardens of cultural, historical, or educational significance, as well as gardens with events and programming (e.g. shows and festivals). A study from the mid-2000s found that over 3 million Canadians participated in garden tourism that year as part of a multi-day vacation. This report looks at other Canadian garden tourism operation that may be comparable to what Abbey Gardens is envisioning for their property, including: Plant Paradise Country Gardens in Caledon, Ontario; Landman Gardens and Bakery in Grand Valley, Ontario; Whistling Gardens in Wilsonville, Ontario; Redford Gardens in Grand Metis, Quebec; Edward Gardens in Toronto, Ontario; and, Coventry Gardens in Windsor, Ontario. The features deemed most suitable for consideration for Abbey Gardens to include in any tourism garden plans (besides plants of course!) include an outdoor venues space that could be used for live music and other events, and a rockery garden area.
