David Suzuki talks to Toronto about the Bees
(but not the birds)

It's time for that talk....

Join Dr. David Suzuki, Bob McDonald (host of CBC radio's Quirks & Quarks), gardening guru Marjorie Harris, and bee expert Laurence Packer to celebrate Mother Nature's Little Helpers--pollinators.

If you want to know about enhancing neighbourhoods with eco-gardens, plant and pollinator identification, biodiversity for food security, and native plants--this is your day!

You have two great opportunities on Saturday May 3rd to join fellow gardeners, naturalists and locavores. Come to one--or both!
