In this episode of Podagogies, we speak with Dr. Rachel MacHenry, Assistant Professor of Fashion at TMU, about her innovative course that brings first-year students to the rooftop urban farm to grow, harvest, and dye with natural plants. Blending sustainability, decolonization, and hands-on learning, the course invites students to reimagine fashion as a practice rooted in land-based knowledge and ecological reciprocity. From indigo to madder root, and now flax for linen, McHenry shares how the rooftop garden is transforming design education—and what it means to grow textiles and student engagement side by side. Rachel MacHenry is an Assistant Professor of fashion sustainability, decolonization and design. She has over twenty years of international experience developing textiles and fashion projects in collaboration with artisan communities in Haiti, Nepal, India, and Pakistan, and has worked on projects for both the Government of Canada and UNESCO.
