Good Things Grow in Ketegaunseebee
Location: Garden City, Ontario
Landowner: Garden City First Nation
Seed Provider: Northern Wildflowers
This project involves two-parts. The first part involves planting native wildflower seeds in an environmentally degraded area and along the Trap Rock hiking area, approximately .5 hectares. The second part of this project is to make wildflower seed packages available for community members. The project has multiple benefits to the local environment and surrounding community. These benefits include early stages of remediation for environmentally damaged area, creating more habitat for species at risk insects, and planting traditional indigenous medicines and foods. It is important to have this project name in the Ojibwa language so that all of the community know that waawaaskwane means flower in Ojibwa.
