The Secret Language of Plants

Soil, fungi, plants, and insects are constantly communicating in ways most of us never see…

This is a free educational presentation about how soil, fungi, microbes, and native plants are all connected, and how these relationships support ecosystem health and biodiversity.

Join us at the Grimsby Public Library for a talk exploring these underground connections.

June 17th at 7pm in the Library Lounge

Use your buying power and garden choices to enhance biodiversity and send a message to the nursery industry. We want native plants!

Looking for Ontario native plants at participating Loblaw, Zehrs, Real Canadian Superstore, and Your Independent Grocer garden centres? 🌱

We’ve created a grower-maintained map to help people find locations across Ontario. Plants are supplied and delivered by nurseries focused on conservation and ecological restoration: St. Williams Nursery & Ecology Centre, Native Plants in Claremont, and Native Trees and Plants.

When you choose these plants, you’re supporting local pollinators, habitat restoration, and Ontario native plant growers to build more reliable native plant supply. Please note this is not an official Loblaw map, and availability may vary by store / timing.
