Fall 2009: CWF Online

Dig in!

How does our garden grow? CWF’s demonstration gardens, located at our Ottawa headquarters, showcase plants native to Canada in a variety of theme beds and is part of our ongoing commitment to help Canadians create wildlife habitat. Not in the area? Check out CWF’s digs online at WildAboutGardening.org by selecting “Gardening Gab.” Packed with plant names, maps and photos, you can peruse our gardens and choose native plants that’ll make your own backyard sanctuary more wildlife-friendly.
