Weekly EcoHouse Stewardship

Start: Tuesday, May 20 at 5 p.m.
End: Tuesday, May 20 at 6:30 p.m.

EcoHouse
22 Veevers Drive, Hamilton, ON, Canada

---

Our EcoHouse spans 2 acres of native plant gardens, rain gardens, a community vegetable garden, demonstration eco-lawn patches, permeable pavers, and more. These grounds require a lot of maintenance and upkeep! Our green gardening volunteers support various gardening, landscaping projects, and other tasks at the EcoHouse education center site. No tools or experience necessary!
Volunteers will:
- Learn about biodiversity and invasive species, gaining valuable insights into our local ecosystem
- Make a tangible difference in our local ecosystem by contributing to its preservation
- Perform gardening tasks such as removing invasive plants, planting natives, creating new demonstration gardens, sowing seeds, mulching, watering, and so much more!

Throughout the summer, workshops where volunteers can learn more about topics like fungi, ecological gardening, the importance of low-impact development sites, and invasive vs native species identification, will be offered.

On rainy days, volunteers will also support our environmental initiatives, such as seed sorting, which helps to promote native plant growth.

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just curious, everyone is welcome. Bring your friends and family to connect, contribute, and learn how to support green infrastructure sites around Hamilton!

What to Bring / Wear:
Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, a sunhat, and sunscreen, and bring a reusable water bottle. We will provide tools, gloves, bags, and anything else we may need, but feel free to bring your own gloves and tools if you prefer. Food and drink will be provided!
