The Haliburton Land Trust has singled out the Haliburton County Master Gardeners through its Enviro-Hero award for its hard work bringing environmental concerns to the County. HCMG is being recognized for its stewardship and education work particularly in helping property owners understand the unique growing conditions of the highlands and the benefits of adding more native plants. HCMG has fielded dozens of questions through its “Ask a Master Gardener” program. As well teams of master gardeners visited over 20 sites in 2021, with many property owners requesting advice on solving design and site issues with native plants, shrubs and trees over hard scape solutions.
