Time: 2–4 PM
Location: 375 Colborne Lodge Dr, Toronto, ON M6S 0A4
What’s Happening?
We’ll be planting native grasses and wildflowers that play a crucial role in High Park’s ecosystems. Native plants support local wildlife, improve soil health, and help restore the natural balance of the park. Plus, you’ll get hands-on experience learning why these plants are so important and how they contribute to a thriving ecosystem.
It’s not just about digging and planting—it’s about community, education, and making a positive impact on our environment. No green thumb? No problem! We welcome everyone, no matter your skill level.

Why Native Plants Matter
By planting native species, you’re supporting Toronto’s biodiversity and helping local ecosystems thrive. Native plants provide food and habitat for insects, birds, and other wildlife, and they’re naturally adapted to our climate, making them more resilient and easier to care for.
