If you live in the Carolinian Zone, you are surrounded by the most diverse wildlife in the nation and they need your help.
When you help them, you help yourself too.
This story starts with the Pawpaw tree because its delicious fruit is prized by a growing number of gardeners. It sparked a massively popular Pawpaw Parade and a movement of people who are discovering the joys of growing native plants. It is one of 1,500 indigenous plants growing in the Carolinian Zone. Many plants and the wildlife that depend on them are disappearing.
You can be a Wildlife Hero by growing native plants like Pawpaw. Indigenous plants are strong allies to help you fight extinction, protect water and battle the climate crisis in your neighbourhood. Plus they can connect you to amazing local treasures and wildlife adventures at home.
So we are sharing beautiful easy-grow plants for butterfly gardens, pollinator patches, rain gardens and natural bird feeders in the Carolinian Zone. Last year, we were overwhelmed with requests so we started looking for more ways to help you find your plant.
Native plants are the unsung heros that can help you save your planet at home. Just one plant is all you need to start.
Let's grow healthy neighbourhoods together!
This fundraiser offers limited numbers of native plants and services for the Carolinian Zone (Toronto to Windsor, Ontario) to help you grow wildlife gardens and healthy habitat from ethical, ecologically appropriate seed sources. Offerings may be updated monthly, depending on availability.
