Garden Observations with Douglas Counter

<p>You may remember Douglas from Season 2. His storm infiltration boulevard in Etobicoke is well documented. Douglas joins to continue the conversation about all the critters who visit this garden space- grasshoppers, damselflies, wasps, bees and birds to name a handful few. We talk about how creating a garden is an opportunity to watch a dynamic ecosystem and learn about all the associations between insects and plants.</p><p>Douglas is a Project Swallowtail Ambassador and gives free tours of his garden. He is also a native plant propagator, growing over 50 species at his home. </p><p><a href="https://spacing.ca/toronto/2024/08/21/from-drainage-ditch-to-vibrant-pollution-absorbing-habitat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Spacing Article, Trent Weston</a></p><p>Subscribe to Project Swallowtail&#39;s newsletter and learn more:</p><p>projectswallowtail.ca</p><p>Contact Douglas:</p><p>dcu.humanature@rogers.com</p><p>Resources:</p><p>bugguide.net</p><p>Heather Holm https://www.pollinatorsnativeplants.com/</p><p>https://www.wildplantsfromseed.com/</p>
