ABOUT:
A brainchild of the Ad Hoc Toronto Seed Strategy Working Group, the Toronto Seed Orchard was established in early summer 2022 at NVK nurseries, with guidance from Stefan Weber and financial support from WWF Canada and Mitacs. Over 1200 plants were put in the ground by Design Climate Action members and monitoring has been lead by Masters student, Liam Doyle . Species selection was developed using plant lists supplied by the city of Toronto and Ontario Plant Restoration Alliance and curated by Jonas Spring and Karen May.
