LEAF Garden on Walmer

When I grocery shop, I usually lock up my bike by the Walmer entrance to the Spadina subway station. Recently I noticed that the concrete area had a new addition: a long and narrow swath of garden.

It's called an Urban Forest Demonstration Garden and it highlights native plants.

Yeah! The more gardens the better, after all.

The garden is the work of LEAF and there are more of them in the city, all on TTC property. Fabulous!
Cheers,

Tour of Annex Trees July 17th

One of the big pluses in our area has got to be the trees... the huge amount, the beauty they add to our streetscapes and their maturity, which provides us with a great, leafy, green canopy.

The Annex Residents' Association is offering an "educational tour of the special trees of The Annex" on Saturday, July 17th from 11 am to 1 pm, rain or shine.

The tour, co-sponsored by LEAF, is $10, but free for ARA members. If the tour interests you, register now by email because space is limited.

Cheers,

Vanessa
