Greenhouse work – Transplanting – High Park Stewards @ High Park Green House
Mar 11 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm
Greenhouse Work Sessions
Meet at the High Park Greenhouse, Greenhouse Road

Greenhouse work is very popular, but due to space limitations we must restrict the number of participants to those who are currently on our email list.

It’s finally time to begin the seeding process and transplant the seedlings that have been growing over the winter in the greenhouse. These will be used for plantings in different parks and for our native plant sale on May 6. Please meet us in the native plant greenhouse (where we did seed cleaning) or if you don’t know where it is, at the main greenhouse.

All tools will be provided, but dress in layers as the temperature is unpredictable.

Please bring anything you may wish to drink or snack on with you as there is no kitchen available.

For more information on planting for restoration projects. See page 20 in particular for growing techniques: - Planting the Seed (pdf) Environment Canada

Please see our website for more information: highparknature.org.
