NatureTO: Managing Invasive Plants Around Your Home

If you're a local gardener looking to enhance your yard's biodiversity, head over to the Downsview branch for an insightful workshop led by the City of Toronto Urban Forestry team.

Part of the Toronto Public Library's 'Our Fragile Planet' series, this session dives into the most common invasive plants taking root in Toronto gardens. Experts will break down how to spot these unwanted species, explain the ecological damage they cause, and offer actionable steps for removing them safely. You'll also pick up valuable tips on cultivating native habitats to support local pollinators and wildlife.

The presentation takes place in the lower-level auditorium at the Downsview Library (2793 Keele Street).
