At long last, the planting has begun! Some of the material we culled from Humber College last spring survived being in pots all summer, and Marion and Gabriele found additional plants at Humber Nursery. Last Friday, Nada, Gabriele, Marion and Mike harvested plants culled from previously-planted EcoSource Mississauga flower beds, and they did it in the pouring rain. Service above and beyond what anyone might expect.

The following is a nearly complete list of what has been planted. Some of the Latin names are missing, and there are a couple of plants we're waiting for Gabriele to identify for us.

• Arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum)
  
• Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)
