This 1-hour online workshop would benefit people who are looking at doing a fall planting of native plants in their yards and gardens. Our discussion with our expert from Ego’s Garden Centre, Kristin Ego MacPhail, will include how to plant, in what soils, the ongoing care, and the long-term benefits of including native plants on your property.

Because this workshop will take place in the late summer, we’ll start with spring and summer photos of the plants in the Ego’s gardens so participants can see size and colour. We’ll discuss the benefits of different types of native shrubs and flowers and the ways to keep them blooming by planting them in the right soil and location. Finally, we’ll have an opportunity to ask some questions of our expert.

This fall, let’s give back to nature by cleaning up the places we all love to explore. You can join us for the group clean-up at Wilson’s Point Wetland* or choose to pick up garbage throughout your neighbourhood with individuals in your bubble. Either way, let’s keep our natural spaces clean this season.  

*Depending on the social gathering restrictions due to the pandemic, there may be a limit to the number of people who can attend. 

Garbage bags will be provided at the group clean up, but please bring your own gloves.
