Wild Ginger is a nice shade plant. It has large heart shaped leaves and spreads via rhizome. It likes rich moist forest floor, which is kind like our backyard!

Trout Lilies are a spring ephemeral, however they are slow growing and ours have not flowered yet. However a nearby wild location has a bunch and they are an amazing site.

Trillium, Ontario's provincial flower, are slow growing, so ours may not flower for a few years.

Red Elderberry is a native shrub. It has red berries that are probably slightly toxic. (There seems to disagreement if they are actually toxic. Assume that they are)

Bloodroot is a shade tolerant wild flower. It has a pretty white flower that only lasts a few days. In the spring the leaf curls are around the stem of the flower.

Virginia Blue Bells are a pretty spring ephemeral. The have clusters of blue flowers. They last for a month or so.

May Apples are an interesting ground cover. They look like little umbrellas. They flower in spring and grow an edible fruit.

Wild Geranium is a shade tolerant wild flower. It has pink blooms and interesting looking seed pods.

These are pictures of the whole garden at different times of the year.
