Do you love the idea of a garden full of butterflies, bees, and other pollinators? Then how about a whole neighbourhood?

During this free workshop on seed saving, you’ll learn about some pollinator-friendly plants you can bring to your garden, along with how to collect and save the seeds they produce each year. That way, you can share the seeds with friends, family, and neighbours to create even more pollinator habitat and spread the joy of native plant gardening around.

This workshop will have both an indoor and outdoor component; we’ll spend some time with the plants outside, then learn about seed processing and saving inside. You’ll even go home with some native plant seeds to get you started!

You do not need to have any experience or bring any tools or materials. Please dress for the weather in layers so you will be comfortable both indoors and outside.

When: Thursday November 12, 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Where: Meet inside the Centre for Urban Ecology at Humber Arboretum.

The Humber Arboretum is located at the back of Humber Polytechnic North Campus in Etobicoke (205 Humber College Blvd). If this will be your first time visiting, leave yourself extra time and have a look at the directions page.
