Our latest installation – a pretty gigantic garden and a HUGE rain garden – needed equipment this time. 🥴 Mostly native plantings to follow.


It's time to look at upgrading my truck and letting the ol'86 Chevy have a rest. 👀 for an F-250 crewcab. Let me know. Fall seems like a good time since demand is low so prices might be more in my favour. I suppose I'm thinking something around 10 years old would be about right.


First day at our new project! Very exciting! 


Inspiring event!#HaltonMasterGardeners & #HamiltonNaturalists run a competition for eco-friendly gardens. A past judge, I was invited & took my helpers to show them what they do makes a difference. So inspiring to see people using their gardens for Good. Congratulations to all!


Another tip for dividing perennials, this time… How do you deal with the giant ones? The ones that fight back like huge Hostas, grasses and, in this case, native #Goatsbeard?


A little visit to our native plant redux/rain garden project in Mississauga. It took forever to look like anything was happening, but it’s all coming together now!  lots of plants reused – several species added. 


#RoseSawfly is a challenging pest for roses in the garden. Here’s a tip for control.


Carrots are harvested. Not a bad haul considering one doesn’t need to really do anything except weed around them (which I didn’t lol) and water (which my friend did). These were grown in pure compost, from my compost pile, in pots.

A very quick walkabout (because it started raining lol) on today’s progress! Great day!


A little bit on staking trees … search #OntarioLandscapeTreePlantingGuide to learn more, because we do it wrong all the time! This is especially important for professionals who THINK they’re doing it right, and municipalities who set the standards.


Well, another plant off the list of things that we should be using. Too bad! I really like #IvorySilkLilac.


This little creature is really nifty type of #AssassinBug. It’s huge! Emesaya brevipennis is the scientific name, and it was on our front step last evening!

How to divide sedges and grasses to make many more! More things that you learn when you volunteer with us at the #ValFlemingButterflyGarden ! 🤪 (and an introduction to a new plant! Hop Sedge – Carex lupulus)


We have one plant (#PrairieSmoke - Geum triflorum) which is polluted with another (#GoldenFeatherGrass - Sorghastrum nutans). What do we do? 


A walk through our almost finished rain garden project in Burlington…


Friday, October 3, 9 AM - noon! Volunteer garden maintenance @ #ValFlemingButterflyGarden - 5020 Serena Dr Beamsville. Our focus: deadheading weedy perennials & consolidating “volunteer” plants with their parents. And if you know anyone who needs volunteer hours for school…
