Why Garden With Native Plants?
There are many reasons for including native plants in your landscape.
Native plants are specifically adapted to our climate and pests and once
established require little to no care if they are planted in a suitable habitat.
These plant species have relationships with other species that live in your
area; many plants are larval hosts to butterflies and provide food and
shelter for other important animals. Native plants make for a beautifully
colorful and environmentally friendly garden that allows individuals to help
maintain Ontario’s exceptional biodiversity.
Grow Wild collects all seed in an ecologically responsible manner.

The Grow Wild Catalog is dedicated to the rock elm
(Ulmus thomasii).
This rock elm stood between a farmer's field and Hwy 7 west
of Manila and was chopped down by Hydro One in March
2009. Rock elms can live to 175 years old. The first hockey
sticks were made of Rock elm.
Long live progress! If con is the opposite of pro, then what's
the opposite of progress?
