I participated in this two years ago and I’m doing it again. An incredible networking event for fellow native plant gardeners and a great way to introduce traditional gardeners to the world of native plants. Win-win!

I ordered 3 yards of premium triple mix earlier in the spring from The Dirt Depot and I’m super disappointed to discover it’s rife with lamb’s quarters, crown vetch & nut sedge. Some terrible invasives. Just a heads-up to anyone thinking about ordering some. #hamont #ontarionativeplants #DundasOnt

Last year, I planted a Dutchman’s breeches corm that had been left on a gravel path in the sun for a day. This year, a renewed lust for life. Never give up. #nativeplants #ontarionativeplants #springephemerals
