Conservation Halton has curated native species kits for local residents to plant at home. With three kit types to choose from (full sun, shade & rain), growing a native plant garden is low cost, beneficial for pollinators, and enhances your curb appeal. By purchasing a Garden-in-a-Box this spring you can feel good knowing you are helping protect local habitats in our watershed.
Why Garden with Native Plants?
Native plants are adapted to thrive in our local environment and climate. They also:
-
- Have beautiful colourful flowers
- Require little to no watering once established
- Lower maintenance compared to annual and perennial gardens
- Provide food and shelter for bees, butterflies, and other insects
- Help reduce the risk of flooding and erosion

Garden-in-a-Box Kits
Each carefully curated kit is intended to be planted in an area roughly the size of a sheet of plywood (4 feet x 8 feet). The plants will fill out nicely in their second and third year of growth. If you prefer a very full garden, you may consider doubling the number of plants in your space.
