Help plant native wildflowers to provide vital habitat for birds, bees and butterflies! Participants will learn about local plants, pollinators, and their important connections to food security, while planting wildflowers at the Iceland Teaching Garden. Equipment and a planting demonstration will be provided. TRCA is committed to creating an accessible experience for all participants.

We will also be planting some edible plants as part of a “food forest” and hearing from some our youth volunteers about these plants!

We ask that any participants under the age of 10 are accompanied with an adult or guardian.

If you require an accessibility accommodation, please email Jennifer.Ouimette@trca.ca at least 7 days prior to the event.

The event will take place at Ecosource’s Iceland Teaching Garden. Once registered, you will receive instructions on accessing the location. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Deanna at dhove@ecosource.ca
