Converting a Lawn to a Native Plant Meadow

Compost Education Centre, 1216 North Park Street,  1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

We will learn the importance of native plants with particular attention paid to their ability to restore and enhance habitat within the urban context. This talk will highlight ways in which individuals can convert under utilized lawn space into pollinator-friendly landscapes and how native plants restore biodiversity. Garry Oak Ecosystems will be used as a case study to highlight particular pollinator-to-plant relationships. At the end of the presentation, there will be an opportunity to have a close-up look at some of the plants outlined in the presentation, as we visit the native plants in the Compost Education Centre demonstration garden.
