It's a Bug's Life

Over the past week, we've run two Native Insect Identification Walks in Prince's Island Park. Thanks to our incredible experts, Nick Johnson of Eat My Shrubs Holistic Landscaping and Haydee Peralta, Ecologist and Insect Expert, we were able to take a few dozen brave souls on the journey into the fascinating world of bugs! Nick provided tips and tricks for pesticide free insect management as well as gardening info. Haydee led the insect identification portion.

Not all of the work can be done by people alone, and companies and gove

Hidden Gems of Calgary: Part 2

The success of our Hidden Gems of Calgary blog last year was incredible and we are extremely excited to bring you Part 2: Instagram Edition. For this year’s version, we wanted to focus on spots that are Instagram-worthy and will be sure to create some envy among your feed! Some of these spots are located outside of Calgary, but all are within a one-hour drive, so getting there is doable within a small time frame. Because some of these places can only be accessed by vehicle, we encourage you to invite your friends, carpool together, and make a fun trip out of it! After all, you will need someone to take pictures with! Reader Rock Garden Reader Rock Garden is a great place to take pictures, hang out with friends, and enjoy the scenery.
