for native plant gardeners & stewards in Toronto and southern Ontario
... big old oak overlooking a bluff landscape full of bright & burnt autumn oranges, perfectly punctuated by birch trees! Can I nominate mother nature for a design award? :) These are the bluffs closest to Highland Creek (east Scarborough) along Lake Ontario. I love sending pics like these back home, out of pride and, ok, a little bit out of mischief: fun unhinging folks' misconceptions about what life in the "big city" looks like.
“When we’re on our knees, rooting around in the soil … what we’re learning are the fine, specific details of our home place, the things that make it unique. …This alertness is, I think, the key to finding a way to live on this earth with spirited wonder and mindful humility –necessary approaches if we’re to begin the crucial work that is ahead: the work of healing the planet. We need people to connect with their home places and learn about them and understand them and see and feel and know what they’re doing to them, and what’s happening to the earth. We need stewards and nurturers and people who care. We need gardeners." -

Nice shot!
Great site. I'm so enamored and impressed. Please have a look at my hobby site that I've created for London area, LandscapeNative.com
