Hallowell
Gardens
Centre for Listening and Lifelong Learning
About
Hallowell Gardens was purchased in 2000 by Renia Tyminski from the granddaughter of the Van Dusen family, who built it in 1901. It is a United Empire Loyalist heritage property, constructed of oak and stone found on the original estate. Since becoming a Lifelong Learning Centre, it has been visited by clients from East Asia, Latin America, Africa and West Asia for customized cross-cultural education programmes and educational tours. The nearby town of Picton offers a range of facilities and community events, along with year round cultural activities. Prince Edward County is on the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg, Wendat and Haudenosaunee Peoples. Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory (Kanyen'kehá:ka) is nearby.
Values
Renia Tyminski has offered customized English language training programs, online and in person at Hallowell Gardens, since moving to the County. In recent years, medical English for foreign-trained professionals has been a specialty.
Vacation study courses at Hallowell Gardens give clients the opportunity to learn more about an area where community well-being is promoted in many ways. Visitors and clients are invited to participate in events and gatherings that offer a feel for the cultural, social and environmental values of today's residents in a historic region of southeastern Ontario.
