| Habitat & Garden Creations | |
| Native
tall grasses and forbs - flowers - are becoming more and more popular in
Ontario gardens today. There is a growing interest in restoring and
recreating natural areas, from backyards and boulevards, to old fields
and abandoned railway lines. Where habitat-creation projects are well
executed, they can provide a significant contribution to the
conservation of wildlife diversity. This section includes some gardens
and larger recreations around Ontario.
This section includes a small sample of prairie gardens and recreations. If you have a prairie garden, we would be delighted to profile it on our website. Just send a short description, with the information you want available on the website, plus a photo in .jpeg format to info@tallgrassontario.org Want to grow your own prairie? We have included a photo gallery of some tallgrass prairie and savanna forbs - flowering plants which are more generally available although some are difficult to find. For more information on establishing a prairie garden of any size, request a copy of Planting the Seed from info@tallgrassontario.org or download a copy from www.on.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/docs. For seed and plant sources, the Society for Ecological Restoration - Ontario Chapter’s 2004-2005 Native Plan Resource Guide can be downloaded from their site or contact ser@simpatico.ca. The North American Native Plant Society also has an excellent site with a Canadian section for northern gardeners. www.nanps.org. Check out www.evergeen.ca/nativeplants. The Evergreen Native Plant Database is designed to help schools, community groups and home gardeners select the right plants for their particular landscapes. The Rural Lambton Stewardship Network has led the way in Southern Ontario in seed supplies and contract work for larger sites through their Ontario. www.ontariostewardship.org/LAMBTON/lambton.htm |
