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.
