Halton Master Gardeners is hosting our first native plant sale at Dundurn Castle - Pavilion on June 6th from 9:30am - 1pm. Visit haltonmastergardeners.com/plant-sale for more information. This is a perfect example of why invasive species are so dangerous to native ecosystems. This harmless looking yellow flower is not a dandelion. This is Tussilago farfara, commonly known as Coltsfoot, and it is an invasive perennial here in Ontario. Coltsfoot is native to Europe and parts of western and central Asia. Its medicinal properties were once used to treat cough symptoms, but its invasive nature is a significant concern for native biodiversity and agricultural land. March Cross Pollination It's not too late to try winter sowing seeds to kickoff your growing season. Plants that require cold stratification, are cold weather hardy, or are perennial varieties are good contenders for this method. Recycling clear bottles or large berry containers, plastic zipper bags, or clear storage totes are all suitable materials to get started. February Cross Pollination
