Canada (ON): New Aamjiwnaang greenhouse goes back to the future
The joint venture between the band’s Environment Department and Return the Landscape will result in the sale of plants native to the Carolinian zone of southwestern Ontario.
Kyle Williams, the operation’s greenhouse technician, said he’s been playing in Aamjiwnaang’s woods and collecting seeds from its wild spaces since he was a boy.
“I like to see the restoration side of this,” Williams said. “I like planting the seeds, potting everything and watching it grow.”
Williams said the new greenhouse adjacent the community centre at 1972 Virgil Ave. is a place where people can share and learn about restoring local lands to their natural state.
