Native Garden Planting Day @ St. Pauls United Church.
The Oakville Ready team was lucky to be joined by a hard-working group of volunteers to assist with weeding and planting. Together, we removed many bags of goutweed to make room for a variety of shade-loving native plants, such as woodland aster, wild ginger, wild geranium and Virginia waterleaf.
We are so excited to watch this garden thrive!

Kid's Native Garden Workshop @ Oak Park Neighbourhood Center
Halton Environmental Network's (HEN) Gardening staff had fun working with the afterschool kid's programs to teach proper gardening techniques while planting a Native Plants pollinator garden.
The Town of Oakville taught the kids about storm sewers and labelled some of the sewers in the area.
