The Ferguson Forest Centre

As we enjoy the beauty of autumn, it is also an opportunity to pause, explore and learn in Veterans Way Memorial Park. This unique green space contains memorial plaques and trees, along with a decommissioned Howitzer, providing a year round opportunity to connect to Canada’s military history.

Families are welcome to explore the park. Take a stroll or have a seat on one of the memorial benches and appreciate the contributions of current and past members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Located beside the Municipal Centre with direct access from the multi-use pathway, the park is one of the gateways to the Ferguson Forest Centre and Tree Nursery.

It’s going to be a glorious day, full of fall sunshine! Take some time to recharge, relax, and enjoy the best a Canadian autumn has to offer right here in the forest. Walk the trails, play disc golf, visit the Arboretum or dog park - so many ways to enjoy free outdoor fun.

17 seasons growing and giving in our community 🍅 🌸🌻🥕

It's been another successful gardening season at the Giving Garden. Thank you to the volunteers, the Ferguson Forestry Centre, the Municipality, St. Michael CHS Environmental Science class, and friends who have donated plants and or seeds. With the generosity and efforts of so many community members the Giving Garden is proud to have completed its 17th year. Many hands make light work.
Happy autumn 🍂

🌳 Happy National Tree Day! 🌳

What better way to celebrate than by planting trees this fall 🌱

Fall is a fantastic time to get trees in the ground. Cooler temperatures mean less stress on newly planted trees, while the soil is still warm enough for roots to establish before winter.

Whether you’re planting for shade, wildlife, privacy, fall colour, pollinators, or simply to add more trees to your property, today is the perfect reminder that every tree we plant is an investment in the future. 💚

🌲 Plant a tree.
🍁 Watch it grow.
🌎 Enjoy the benefits for years to come.

Happy National Tree Day from all of us at Ferguson Tree Nursery!

We are so grateful for, and proud of, the important work performed by the dedicated staff at the Ferguson Tree Nursery. Their contributions extend far beyond our community, and have an appreciable impact in their industry and on the environment. 🌲🍁🌳🌼🐝

🌲🌿 Happy National Forest Week! 🌿🌲

Forests are so much more than trees!

From towering trees to native shrubs, flowering perennials and everything growing beneath the canopy, each layer plays an important role in creating a healthy, diverse forest ecosystem. 🌳🌸🌱

These plants provide food and shelter for wildlife, support pollinators, protect our soil and water, and contribute to the incredible biodiversity found in our forests.

At Ferguson Tree Nursery, we’re proud to grow a wide variety of trees, shrubs and perennials that can help support reforestation, restoration projects, pollinator habitat and healthy landscapes across Ontario and beyond.

This National Forest Week, take a closer look at the forest around you — there’s a whole community growing from the forest floor to the canopy! 🐝🦋🐦🌿

Healthy forests start with diversity. 💚
