Plants with Purpose

'Plants with Purpose' Registration

Have you ever wanted to learn more about the wild plants around you?  Have you listened to the stories they can tell?  This workshop, led by two award-winning educators, will introduce you to many local green friends, and learn the stories about the roles they play.

Saturday, March 4, 9:30 AM to 12:00 noon       Camp Kawartha Environment Centre (2505 Pioneer Rd., Peterborough)

This workshop was developed as part of the Truth and Reconciliation movement in Canada.  ‘Plants with Purpose’ was created in concert with the Indigenous team and schools of Simcoe County District School Board to help build connections between the land and the plants among us. They have created a beautiful set of illustrated cards showcasing 55 common local plants, where they grow, Indigenous and wildlife interactions, and plant names in English, French, Anishinaabemowin and Michif.
