Come join us and Maajiigin Gumig to learn about our beautiful native spring ephemerals with an emphasis on edible species!
Learn about First Nations perspectives on food systems in the spring from Dylan Henry. He will talk about traditional harvesting protocols, wild foraging of native species, and early season seed collection for conservation.
Maajiigin Gumig - "Place where plants start to grow", is a native plant greenhouse focusing on growing native plants for the Aamjiwnaang community and surrounding Sarnia-Lambton Area. Some initiatives of the greenhouse include native plant rescue and restoration, seed collection and cleaning, native plant propagation, multi-generation teaching and learning, ecology stewardship education, and reconnecting with the Earth.
One Seed Lambton is a program to encourage everyone to grow their own produce and save their own seeds for next year's planting. A single seed variety will be announced in May, and that seed will be made available in small amounts at no cost. The selected seed will be easy to grow in back yard gardens or containers. Seeds will be available for all participants to take.
