@davidsuzukiFDN #gotmilkweed campaign!




David Suzuki Foundation kicked off the Got Milkweed? campaign on April 1. Check out the video for information about how you can support Monarch butterfly habitat this year. And to see me on the internet.

This year the North American Native Plant Society will be holding two plant sales so that you can purchase native plants for your garden. The largest one day plant sale in Canada is on May 10 at the Markham Civic Centre. Our downtown plant sale will be on May 25 at Christie Pit Park alongside DSF's milkweed pick-up location for the Got Milkweed? campaign and the Bike with Mike event in Ward 19.
