Register for the Bird Friendly London Fall Native Plant Event 2023

Bird Friendly London, in partnership with The PATCH London, is hosting an event dedicated to gardening with native plants, including a plant exchange program for nature enthusiasts around London and surrounding region. The event will be held on Saturday October 28th, 2023 from 12:00-3:00 pm at The PATCH London's location found at 136 Cavendish Crescent near Riverside Dr. and Wharncliffe Rd west of downtown (click here for directions). This event is open to anyone, including experienced gardeners and newcomers who wish to learn more about Ontario's native plants. The space for the event is accessible to wheelchair users. There is abundant street parking, bicycle storage and public transit access nearby.

Participating in the plant exchange is simple: if you have some native plants to contribute, please bring seeds, cuttings, shoots or saplings of whatever species to share with others. We ask that you ONLY use plants that are confirmed as being native/indigenous to southwestern Ontario. Information is provided at the link below to assist you with determining the native range of your plant(s). At the event, we will use a random lottery system for participants to take turns with selecting a free plant from the remaining stock to take home. If you wish to contribute plants but not take any home, or if you wish to receive a plant but don't have anything to contribute, both are totally fine! 

The entire event will take place outdoors. We will begin at 12 pm with a brief presentation by Brendon Samuels, coordinator of Bird Friendly London, with information about how to implement naturalized landscaping in London. Light refreshments will be served. The native plant exchange program will take place beginning at 12:30 pm.
