    TALK & SPEAKER:

    SHAUN BOOTH is owner of In Our Nature, a natural garden design firm and native plant nursery. As a co-author of the Globe & Mail bestselling book, The Gardener's Guide to Native Plants of the Southern Great Lakes Region, Shaun brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to design projects. He is the founder of the "Ontario Native Plant Gardening" Facebook group and provides free gardening resources on his website InOurNature.ca.

    In Shaun's talk, we will discover how natural garden design empowers us to create stunning gardens that foster a deeper connection to local ecology—all while reducing maintenance. We will discuss how it differs from traditional horticulture, highlight its benefits for both nature and our gardens, and share practical steps to transform your yard with native plants.

    Saturday May 24, 2025 10AM - 12PM

    Our annual Plant fair is our biggest fundraiser,  sustaining our support for garden projects in the community.  We will be ordering in choice and interesting plants from select nurseries for resale, as well having divisions contributed from member's gardens (specially prepared to mitigate the spread of Jumping Worms). Additionally there will be vegetable seedlings, herbs and houseplants, and our very popular garden-related flea market, or "Green Elephants" as we call them.

    We'd love your help - with volunteering, plant donations and garden-related supplies and accessories you no longer need. Please click here to find out more.
