learn about converting lawns into native plant meadows

Sylvain Alie and Royann Petrell of the Stellar Raven Ecological Farm are hosting a Native Plant Garden Event with the support of BC Nature and Comox Valley Naturalists Society. The event takes place on June 15th from 10:00am to 6:00pm and will feature tours of new and established pollinator and carbon sequestration gardens. Birders would enjoy the songs of the many birds nesting around the many naturalized areas.
There will be gardeners and a recent graduate from the University of British Columbia on hand to answer your questions about the merits of gardening with native plants, and how to construct and maintain a native meadow. We will have David Suzuki Foundation Butterflyway Rangers and BC Community Bat Program Bat Ambassadors on site with the Gone to Seed Little Library Pollinator Project. MARS will be there to show how they have successfully removed weeds. CVN will be there to highlight their native and invasive plant projects. Be sure to visit their booths to learn more about these programs and purchase some locally grown native plants to help support the wildlife in your garden.
