Sharing our Nature

Sharing Our Nature aims to show why and how to encourage biodiversity in our managed spaces. It will be not only a blog on native plants and those they attract, but also a guide on how to participate in community native plant initiatives.

The Sharing Our Nature guide is a collaboration between the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library, established several years ago, and the Greater Moncton Wildflower Seed Library, a fledgling initiative.

The guide will be hosted on the website wildflowerseeds.org/guide.

The guide called “Sharing our Nature” will not only relate my experiences in starting a seed library in my own community, but also show what works and what doesn’t in well-established Wildflower Seed Libraries. I hope this serves as a springboard for people to help address demand in native seeds, with the goal of lessening the decline in beneficial insect populations.

The first phase of the Sharing Our Nature project, with funding from Nature Canada, will be spread over the next year.
