Yorkton and District Horticultural Society

     The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society recently received a note from Sherry at the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s WILD Spaces program.   The information she sent to us is very informative and important to us as gardeners and custodians of the environment, and more specifically, may apply to you!

Please read on!  Here is what Sherry told us.

     “CWF recognizes the importance of gardeners in supporting Canada’s wildlife and their habitats. As such, we have programs and resources that may be of interest to your members. Perhaps also, you may be able to help us support Canadians with information by linking where relevant!

Our Garden Certification program officially recognizes Canadians who garden with wildlife in mind. And our annual Conservation Awards honours Canadians who have made a difference for wildlife – big or small!

     Find plants suitable for your garden with our searchable Native Plant Encyclopedia featuring the range, growing conditions, wildlife supported and photos of these beneficial plants. Help us fill some photography blanks by sending us any pictures of a listed plant without an image! Your photo will be credited and will help Canadians support our bees, butterflies, birds and more. Please send me a photo with the scientific name or contact me for more information.

     With natural gardening becoming so popular, our Native Plant Supplier List helps Canadians find nurseries that sell native plants. If you know of a nursery not yet listed, please let me know!

     We have many more resources for gardeners, kids and educators such as colouring pages, an illustrated glossary and more.

     _{Help us Help Canadians! If any of the above interests you, please put up a link to our website- http://www.cwf-fcf.org/en/ either on a “links/resources” page or elsewhere on your site. It would be greatly appreciated!}

_{If you have any questions please contact me at outreachkanata@cwf-fcf.org or call me at 1-877-599-5777 ext. 293. I’m here until the ends of June so please don’t hesitate!
