Using native plants in your garden is beneficial because:

  1. Ontario’s native plants are vital to local ecosystems as they have evolved here over a very long period. These plants are the foundation of our natural communities.

  2. These do the best job of providing food and shelter for native wild animals.

  3. They improve soil, air and water quality by removing toxins and pollution.

  4. They provide a home for many species that are becoming increasingly rare in the wild.

  5. Using locally adapted native plants species instead of exotic species can increase biodiversity

  6. They generally can eliminate the need for chemical inputs such as pesticides and fertilizers that cause harm to other life and contaminate the water.

  7. They stabilize soil, prevent erosion and are generally more efficient at filtering storm water.

  8. Uniqueness; does not look like the Jones’s garden.

  9. They are beautiful!

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional lands of the Anishnasbeg who are the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation; and the Neutral or Attawandron First Nation who were a tribal confederation of Iroquoian peoples until about the 1650s. The largest group identified as the Chonnonton. And to the First Nations that settled here in the 1800s: The Oneida First Nation of the Thames, also known as Haudenosaunee, made this area their home in 1840 as part of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy; and The Nalahii Lunaapewaak known as the Munsee-Delaware- First Nation.

We have deep appreciation for the care these people have taken of this land and for all the living and non-living beings that dwell here. We appreciate the deep-seated knowledge these peoples have always been willing to share even though we, as settlers, may not have always been willing to listen.   May our discussions, reflections and actions draw us closer in reconciliation for past actions.
