Canadian Institute for Sustainable Biodiversity
February 16th through 19th, 2010
Join experts and specialists from all over Ontario and further abroad for our three-day symposium on sustainable horticulture.
What part does horticulture play in making urban Canada a healthy, productive place to live?
How does our urban landscape - gardens, parks, lawns, ecologically designed hardscapes, green roofs and other innovations - ensure that well-being and biodiversity are supported and enhanced?
What steps can all practitioners of horticulture - from the trades to home gardeners and plant breeders - take to issues like invasive species, pest management and urban biodiversity?
