We're looking for helpers to come help remove the invasive dog-strangling vine in and around the garden. If you're available to stop by and help out for a little bit, please join us at the garden at 10:00am this Sunday, July 7th, 2013!

"[Dog Strangling Vine] can grow in a variety of environments, from forested to open areas and is a master at displacing native species from the areas in which it grows. [Dog Strangling Vine] most easily displaces native species that are sensitive or rare, but it also impacts wildlife which rely on the displaced native species for food or breeding."

"The vine threatens the monarch butterfly, a species at risk in Ontario. The butterflies lay their eggs on the plant, but the larvae are unable to complete their life cycle and do not survive."
