SUMMARY:Autumn Garden Tour 4 - October 11
DESCRIPTION:Tour 4: Sunday\, October 11\, 2:00pm to 3:30pm (Thanksgiving weekend) \nEarly autumn is a crucial time for pollinators—whether they’re starting their fall migration or preparing to overwinter here. It’s also a perfect time to join block ambassador Douglas Counter on a free autumn bloom tour of his established pollinator gardens located near the Etobicoke Civic Centre. Offered on four dates\, this 1.5-hour tour includes: choosing and pairing plants for autumn bloom; observing pollinators; enjoying your garden’s exquisite autumn beauty and increasing its habitat value by eliminating traditional autumn clean up; making your garden winter wildlife-friendly; and more. \nDouglas brings 29 years of practical experience gardening with native plants to these tours of his species-rich prairie\, storm water infiltration boulevard\, and woodland gardens—each a beautiful example of functioning habitat. \nEach guest will receive a free organic native plant of their choice (4 inch pot) propagated by Douglas from seed collected from his gardens; additional plants will be available for $4 each. \nSpaces are limited\, so please RSVP to Douglas today at dcu.humanature@rogers.com and include your Tour Number in the subject line of your email. Douglas will confirm location details with guests. If you’re interested in plants but not the tour\, please put Propagated Plants in the subject line. \nStay tuned for Douglas’ autumn workshops later in October and into November!
