In this introductory program, discover the core principles of ecological gardening and learn how to transform your garden into a space that’s both environmentally responsible and visually stunning. A **Toronto Master Gardener** will provide guidance on how to create habitat, manage water wisely, and reduce your ecological impact — all while cultivating a landscape rich with beauty and year-round interest. Suitable for gardeners of any skill level and any outdoor space. Register via TPL's website: [Garden with Purpose: Practical Ecological Gardening | Toronto Public Library | BiblioCommons](https://tpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/events/6ac3bad29d27a000454eac67) Doors open at 5:30 pm to mingle and chat with fellow nature and environmental enthusiasts!
