  • Huge thank you to the Master Gardener volunteers and the team from Peel who came out over the past two days to help us get everything ready for the Native Tree and Plant Sale! 🌱 It takes a lot of hands to pull something like this together, and we’re so grateful for the time, effort, and care you all put in to make it happen. We can't wait to see everyone next week at the sale! Come early and ready to shop for some plants!
  • We’ve got trees, and lots of them! This is just a small look at what’s coming to our Native Tree and Plant Sale. And there’s lots more where this came from! For a full list of trees and plants comment “trees” below! 👇
  • Spring is planting season… but it’s also the perfect time to take back your space. With the Dr. Compton Native Tree & Plant Sale coming up, now’s the time to think about what shouldn’t be growing. Invasive species are often the reason natives struggle to thrive. Join our Osage Park team on April 18 for a hands-on Invasive Species Management Workshop. Learn how to identify common invasives and apply practical techniques you can use at home. If interested comment "plants" below!
