The Great Pawpaw Parade was bigger than ever this year, celebrating an iconic native species that continues to bring people together across the Carolinian Zone. In 2022, in partnership with several communities and organizations, Carolinian Canada helped distribute 400+ pawpaw trees and native plant garden kits to folks across the zone.

Meet the Speakers: Bridging the Gap between Indigenous knowledge and understandings, and current colonial approaches in relation to how we live and work on the land means engaging in respectful, informed discussion on perspectives and worldviews.

The London Middlesex Master Gardeners are hosting an outdoor Seedy Saturday event at Dundas Place, between Wellington and Clarence, on April 23rd, 2022.

Seed & Seedling Swap! Free seeds available. Bring seeds, transplants, and knowledge to share.

An upcoming virtual native planting Skills Lab on May 4th 7-8:30pm organized by the Mill Pond Committee and I Love Dorchester will provide Thames Centre tailored advice for native gardening: a timely spring activity for families stuck at home.

What is a Seed Strategy? The goal is to scale-up a small amount of local, wild seed, so that we can pay it forward and grow our collective capacity to do high quality habitat restoration. Populations of wild plants established outside their natural habitat for conservation purposes are called ‘ex situ’ populations, but we sometimes refer to them simply as ‘captive’ populations of known wild origin. Seeds can be scaled up using traditional agronomic practices, and these ‘ex situ’ orchards may provide much more seed, without impacting the original wild population more than once.

The Great 2020 Pawpaw Parade was a great success, sharing Canada’s rare wild treasures with diverse communities.

In this interactive, online workshop, the Pollinator Pathways Project team will share an introduction to pollinators and creating pollinator-friendly gardens in the city.

Care and stewardship of these trees is an important step in moving forward to help recover populations

With 100 Pawpaw trees adopted across the Carolinian Zone, thousands of Ontarians wonder how they can get these highly-sought rare trees

Can we grow a green future in the face of climate change? Nature has a secret – it is really good at adapting to climate change.

This uniquely red plant stands out amongst many of the other species that we grow at St. Williams Nursery & Ecology Centre.

The Paw Paw has become a favourite across the Carolinian Zone. Re-discover the divine sweetness and nutritional value of this oddly-shaped fruit.

Forecasting and collecting tree seeds today ensures the planting of tomorrow’s forests. Register for tree seed forecasting workshops and help lay the foundation for a greener and healthier future.

As we approach fall, we know the leaves from our mighty trees or neighbour's yard are about to find their way onto our lawns. Check out what Carolinian Canada's Ecologist Ben Porchuk suggests!

The Carolinian Zone is home to more at-risk species than anywhere else in Canada. Your green space is part of the solution.
