Welcome to the third workshop in the 4-part "Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library (OWSL) Presents..." series! Come learn the truths and myths of getting your garden ready for spring. Learn about the lifecycle of pollinators, birds and other wildlife, and how to support them in your garden as they move out of winter – what to clip and clear (like invasive species), and what to leave alone. Learn how to identify real native plants in plant nurseries. Tips on transplanting your winter-grown seedlings and what to watch for over the summer. Will have hands-on demonstrations and sample seeds/seedlings
