I read something about this Indigenous Garden in The Suburban, but the only way I found it was by the photograph attached to the article, and then only with some difficulty. The garden is located behind the psychology building on the Loyola Campus of Concordia University; it's located in the shade of the building. I often walk on the campus and there are many, better, sunnier places where this garden could have been located. Since it was only planted in late summer it should be more substantial next year. What I would like to see here are plants that are native to this area, plants that attract birds and insects in our area. We think of some of these plants as weeds but they are important for whatever urban wildlife we have left. The Audubon Society has a service regarding native plants, it is "Plants for Birds" and this is a great way to attract birds and insects to one's garden at home.

| Barren now but this is September-October, next summer I expect a real garden here. |
