A little wildlife love from the Giving Garden 🦫
This spring, one of the organizations Jackson and I are raising funds for through our annual plant sale is Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in Rosseau, Ontario. Aspen Valley rehabilitates injured and orphaned native Ontario wildlife and works hard to give these animals a second chance in the wild.
One of the many animals they care for are beavers, and honestly… how can you not love that face? 🦫
A couple fun facts about beavers:
• Beavers are the largest rodents in North America and can weigh up to 60 lbs!
• Their famous flat tails help them swim, balance, and even warn other beavers of danger by slapping the water.
• Beaver dams actually create wetlands that benefit hundreds of other species, making them one of nature’s most important ecosystem builders.
Through this year’s Giving Garden plant sale, we are hoping to raise enough funds to purchase two incubators for Aspen Valley’s wildlife nursery, helping tiny orphaned animals stay warm and stable when they first arrive.
If you’re planning your garden this spring, we’d love your support! 🌱
Every plant purchased and every donation made, helps us move closer to our goal and supports this incredible work.
