3-0 in favour of naturalised gardens!
#Ontario courts have now ruled three times that municipalities targeting native plant gardens using ‘weed’ bylaws are acting unconstitutionally.

From pollinator food (September 21) to becoming winter bird food (this week) - Dog-tooth Daisy (Helenium autumnale), aka Sneezeweed, looks amazing in the wildlife garden. I have it next to Joe Pye, as its blooms peak as the JP fades.

Native Clematis (Clematis virginiana) in August (left) and September (right). It can be a prolific reseeder. But flowers emerge on new growth each season, so you can cut it back as needed or remove seed heads.

First time my Closed Bottle Gentian has bloomed since I planted it! This is the #flower fully formed, they don't open more than this. Iirc they're mostly pollinated by bees because most #pollinators don't have the strength/dexterity to pry open the petals #bloomscrolling #ontarionativeplants #garden

City of Burlington priorities: fighting these naturalised gardens with harsh penalties ($400k?!), by-law changes and court action. 🤦♀️

Who needs all those mainstream chrysanthemums (🥱) this time of year when Bottle Gentian (Gentiana andrewsii) looks so showy from late summer to first frost and provides pollinator food?

A fantastic article about the shelter requirements of bees and how to create nesting spaces for them in your garden. 🐝

Grew these from seed and just love them. The bees do too. Dotted Mint (Monarda punctata).

I'm still alive. Mostly been doing kcd2 fanart (see my fanart account at garden-ghoul). Barely been #gardening because of how hot is been, but I finally got outside again the other day. #nativeplants #ontarionativeplants

Endangered in the Americas but thriving in Australia thanks to invasive plants. Ironic? #Monarchbutterflies #ontarionativeplants

Two bumblebees tussle above a Hydrangea Arborescens. The smaller bee has been knocked off its perch and is falling upside down off the top of a cluster of flowers, while the larger of the bees flies above.

Monarch butterfly perched on common milkweed
Happy Canada Day to you and to this monarch butterfly enjoying common milkweed in a neighbour's yard. First sighting of 2025.

Robin’s Plantain. Beautiful, pollinator-attracting flowers which can be cut back once they have finished blooming to keep the leaves as a groundcover.
