Celebrate Gardening! June 11, 1-4 pm in Dundonald Park

Help us launch the national Year of the Garden in Canada’s Capital!

Proclaimed by the federal government and the City of Ottawa, the Year of the Garden commemorates the centennial of Canada’s horticulture sector and rich garden heritage. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Somerset Ward Councillor Catherine McKenney will open the event. 

There will be nearly 20 activities and information booths at the June 11 event, including messing with worms in vermiculture, tree-seedling giveaway, nature-themed crafts and planting annual flowers. Enthusiasts will be on hand to teach about local trees, apiaries, sprouting edible seeds and pollinators. Information booths include the Master Gardeners of Ottawa, Fletcher Wildflower Garden, Ottawa Field Naturalist Club, Gardens Ottawa, Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library, Macoun Field Naturalists, Ottawa Tool Library, Ottawa Outdoor Gear Library and more.  

The event is free. Rain date is June 12, 1-4 p.m.
