Root 16 Garden Club

How do you create more farmers and gardeners? Share more of what you have! We're stoked to be a part of Groundwork Market Garden's 1st Annual Garden Kic...k-off & Plant Giveaway this Saturday from 10am-2pm at 1698 Genesee Street. We'll be raffling off free memberships and showing off a few cool gardening gadgets you can borrow as a member of The Tool Library!

This plant is killing songbirds across North America! If you have one or see one with berries, cut off the berries and compost them. Nandina domestica (heavenly... bamboo) is from China and so our birds mistake it for a food source. The seeds contain a ton of cyanide and cause a swift and extremely painful death. I cut the berries off my neighbours yesterday, but he said he has already found a few dead birds. Such a simple thing could save hundreds of lives. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3005831/ See more
