The first? Homegrown National Park is gaining momentum in the west end of Toronto. The park is forming around one of the lost rivers, the Garrison Creek. It's growing out of community involvement, clever projects, and native plants for pollintators. There is so much to learn, see, and do in this city and I am so excited to be involved with this project.
Today I read a fantastic blog post about some of the history of this project and where it's heading. There are also many links included to learn more about this type of project. I've been following closely and I can't wait to see what happens next.
On June 26, from 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM the Homegrown National Park crew is hosting an event at Fort York. It'll start with my Creating a Beautiful Garden with Native Plants workshop then there will be food trucks, local beer, campfires, the unveiling of the North American Native Plant Society sponsered Community Canoe, and an outdoor screeing of the Lost Rivers documentary.
Much more to come about this project! O yeah, and the Star covered the story too.
