Dense Blazing Star is a beautiful purple perennial wildflower that attracts hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies 🟣🙂🪻In Canada, it is restricted to southwestern Ontario and is considered a species at risk.

Many thanks to Nature Canada @naturecanada_ for their support via a Young Nature Leader Grant to raise native Ontario pollinator plants for schools, long-term care homes, and communities organizations serving vulnerable populations 🙂🙏

Many thanks again to Sprout Ideas Fellow Grants by TakingITGlobal for our Green Greetings project. Check out www.sproutideas.org for more details on the program and ways you can get involved in supporting youth-led social innovation.

Did you know, historically, only the beet leaves were eaten, not the roots ? The roots were highly valued as medicine  not food  
It has been a very busy growing season!  As part of our Seeds That Feed initiative, excited to have contributed 160 lbs of food to Feed the Need Durham this summer so far 
We so appreciate @ftndurham working hard to fight hunger in our community!

We are excited to have been selected for 2023 Sprout Ideas Fellow Grants by TakingITGlobal 🙂 The Sprout Ideas Fellowship aims to support a cohort of youth from across Canada in implementing their own community impact projects. Over the course of 10 months, Fellows have been participating in a guided skill-building experience with training, mentorship, seed grants and access to additional funds in support of a volunteer-led project. Check out www.sproutideas.org for more details on the program and ways you can get involved in supporting youth-led social innovation 🌱

Thank you to @TIGSproutIdeas generously supporting our gardening project to cultivate fresh vegetables, houseplants, and pollinator plants to uplift vulnerable community members 🍅😃🪴
