A 2022 Year of the Garden event. A joint project of Canadensis Botanical Garden Society (CBGS or Canadensis) and the Ottawa Field Naturalist Club (OFNC). This collaborative project is being held to promote the cultivation of Native Trees through the collection and distribution of their seeds and seedlings, and to educate the public.
Excursion Leader: Owen Clarkin, Ottawa Filed Naturalist Club
Collect seeds to grow your own trees. We ask that excess seeds which you collect be voluntarily donated to Canadensis for our planned Native Tree Gardens at the Canadensis site.
Departing location: From the Red Barn at the Canadensis location on Prince of Wales Drive.
Cost: Choice of two options:
1) $20 to cover:
- Participation in the excursion
- Written instructions on what to do with the seeds
- Materials needed for planting seeds

For questions, please use the same email address
If you want seeds, but are not available for the excursion, please email us.
Additional Information
This collaborative project promotes Native Trees through the collection of their seeds and seedlings, education and distribution to the public.
There are roughly 50 native tree species in the Ottawa area. However, only about 5 or 6 of these native trees are available for purchase at area garden centres and nurseries. This is quite disturbing for the propagation of native trees.
We will promote the planting of native trees in Ottawa, for the protection and restoration of native plants. Ecosystem-based adaptation can reduce climate risks while also delivering co-benefits for biodiversity, livelihoods, health, food security and carbon sequestration. This native tree program includes:
- Field trips for gathering seeds from native trees for the purposes of new planting: Ottawa Field Naturalists (OFNC) know where to find enclaves of various native trees in the Ottawa area. OFNC will lead field trips.
- Education workshops on tree propagation from the collected seeds
- Targets for the number of new trees, for each tree species.
- Plant a native tree garden at Canadensis
- Offer
- excess seeds and seedlings to the general public on the Canadensis Web site store. This store would be coordinated with local nurseries so as not to impact their business.

From small and sweet to big and bold, annuals with their wide variety of

offer a unique twist to your dinner plate, not to mention their role in
making stunning containers and baskets.

2022 Annual General Meeting of the Canadensis Botanical Garden Society (CBGS) on Thursday, June 16, 2022 with Guest Speaker Albert Dumont.
You are invited to join us for the 2022 Annual General Meeting of the Canadensis Botanical Garden Society (CBGS) on Thursday, June 16, 2022. Due to the continued uncertainty caused by COVID-19 pandemic this year, the assembly meeting will again be held using Zoom conferencing. The evening will mark another step in our progress to build an out-standing botanical garden in the nation’s capital. REGISTER HERE
The business meeting will be followed by a talk by Albert Dumont, “South Wind”. Mr. Dumont is a Poet, Storyteller, Speaker, and an Algonquin Traditional Teacher. He is Ottawa’s Poet Laureate.
About Albert Dumont
Albert Dumont, “South Wind”, is a Poet, Storyteller, Speaker, and an Algonquin Traditional Teacher. He was born in traditional Algonquin Territory (Kitigan Zibi). He has been walking the “Red Road” since commencing his sobriety in 1988. He has published six books of poetry and short stories and two children’s books, written in three languages. Several organizations, both native and non-native, are currently featuring his poetry in their promotions, among them are the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health and the Native Veterans Association. Albert Dumont was honoured as Ottawa’s Poet Laureate in 2021.
Albert has dedicated his life to promoting Indigenous spirituality and healing and to protecting the rights of Indigenous peoples, particularly the young. He is the father of three daughters and grandfather of five grandchildren.
From Protecting Greenspace within the City’s Perimeters – It’s your Duty as a Human Being: “Have you ever wondered if a tree feels the weight of a bird singing on even its smallest branch? The tree does not object in any way to the presence of a bird who enters its circle of spiritual energy, nor does it cringe at the song it sings there. Let us always be mindful that the tree is as a pew of countless others in a grand cathedral (the world over) into which spirit is ever present. The tree delights in the presence of the bird, so much so that it sends forth its own voice to rise and sing in harmony with that of one filled with similar purity and innocence as its own. The tree welcomes all birds and critters who come to rest or nest on its limbs. Trees spiritually recognize that it is part of Creator’s instructions for them to be accommodating and gracious when ‘All their Relations’ come to them in a good way.” Read the full post here.
Please join us at our AGM to receive the latest news on our botanical garden project and be updated on the progress of Canadensis as well as enjoying a most interesting and insightful talk by Albert Dumont. REGISTER HERE.

Event Details
From small and sweet to big and bold, annuals with their wide variety of
shapes and colours can add personality and character to any garden. Many
of them play the useful role of attracting pollinators while others
offer a unique twist to your dinner plate, not to mention their role in
making stunning containers and baskets.
In this presentation, Master Gardeners Claire Leduc and Catherine Disley
will help you feel confident in adding and caring for a wide range of
annuals in your garden.

About Albert Dumont
Albert Dumont, “South Wind”, is a Poet, Storyteller, Speaker, and an Algonquin Traditional Teacher. He was born in traditional Algonquin Territory (Kitigan Zibi). He has been walking the “Red Road” since commencing his sobriety in 1988. He has published six books of poetry and short stories and two children’s books, written in three languages. Several organizations, both native and non-native, are currently featuring his poetry in their promotions, among them are the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health and the Native Veterans Association. Albert Dumont was honoured as Ottawa’s Poet Laureate in 2021.
Albert has dedicated his life to promoting Indigenous spirituality and healing and to protecting the rights of Indigenous peoples, particularly the young. He is the father of three daughters and grandfather of five grandchildren.
From Protecting Greenspace within the City’s Perimeters – It’s your Duty as a Human Being: “Have you ever wondered if a tree feels the weight of a bird singing on even its smallest branch? The tree does not object in any way to the presence of a bird who enters its circle of spiritual energy, nor does it cringe at the song it sings there. Let us always be mindful that the tree is as a pew of countless others in a grand cathedral (the world over) into which spirit is ever present. The tree delights in the presence of the bird, so much so that it sends forth its own voice to rise and sing in harmony with that of one filled with similar purity and innocence as its own. The tree welcomes all birds and critters who come to rest or nest on its limbs. Trees spiritually recognize that it is part of Creator’s instructions for them to be accommodating and gracious when ‘All their Relations’ come to them in a good way.” Read the full post here.
Please join us at our AGM to receive the latest news on our botanical garden project and be updated on the progress of Canadensis as well as enjoying a most interesting and insightful talk by Albert Dumont. REGISTER HERE.
