Good things happening...

Just before I left T.O for QB,VI ,I was involved in helping to make happen a Community Pollinator Garden at the corner of Pritchard and Batavia (North Runnymede United Church) (May/June) As a Board member with RHS I applied for the bursary through the Toronto Chapter of Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades Association . This year, RHS was one of 10 community projects awarded up to $1,500 each in order to support small-scale projects in the neighbourhoods that members live and work in.

Landscape Ontario magazine reached out to organizers of some of the projects about their achievements, spanning from native plant gardens, green schoolyards and sustainability initiatives.

Thanks to Jonas from Ecoman.ca for giving me the hot tip to apply for the bursary!.You too helped make this happen along with all the volunteers who prepared,installed and now maintain the Community Pollinator Garden that beautifies the neighbourhood and more importantly creates habitat for our little friends.
