We will be hearing from Professor, Nina-Marie Lister, Author, Lorraine Johnson, and Environmental Lawyer, David Donnelly, about the ecological significance of advancing biodiversity through natural gardens and native plants in the City along with the challenges faced by the current state weed and grass regulations. Two very special guest panellists, Author and Expert Gardener, Mark Cullen, and Horticulture and Natural Environment Program Officer for the City of Toronto, Patricia Landry, will be joining us for a roundtable discussion where we will be talking about overcoming the challenges and moving to a solution of incorporating a by-law that is supportive of the natural garden and native plants.
