Gardens Full of Life - Eco habitat

Gardens are natural ecosystems that can be a habitat for beneficial bugs, frogs, birds and more. We can help by understanding the gardening habits that are good for the environment. We can also learn about invasive plants that are spreading across Ontario and what we can do to avoid adding to the problem. Let's all create gardens that are beautiful, healthy and full of life.
