Woodland Angelica has found its way into the food forest. This tall flowering plant unfortunately has photo-toxic sap. When coming into contact with the plant there is a risk of developing serious blisters and rashes when the sap activates in the sun.

We now have a whole section in the food forest dedicated to butterflies and pollinators thanks to Caitlin, a Butterflyway Ranger volunteering for the David Suzuki Foundation. Her generous donation of milkweed, asters, bergamot and vervain will give butterflies a better chance of thriving within the city!
