The Power Plant presents
The Power Plant’s summer group exhibition highlights interspecies encounters. What happens when humans, animals and the natural world meet? What forms of communication, miscommunication, intimacy, and exchange ensue? ‘Adaptation: Between Species’ presents the work of leading international artists alongside that of newer figures whose work has gained international attention. Ranging in tone from reverent to decidedly iconoclastic, and created with media including photography, film/video, sculpture, and painting, works in the exhibition examine the lure of primeval states and primitive behaviours, and the urge to understand oneself as wild at heart.

For the Birds Summer Showcase SEPTEMBER Harvest Day OCTOBER
You might already know that the harvest from the Teaching Garden and Kitchen Garden is donated to the North York Harvest Food Bank- an average of 700 lbs a year! What you might no know is that other creatures browse at the TBG buffet too! Groundhogs, leaf miners, caterpillars, beetle larvae and now- oh dear, we have deer! Even in Toronto a city of millions, deer live happily in Toronto’s valleys and snack on both wild and domestic plants. They have been leaving their tracks and evidence of chewing in the Swiss Chard!

SUMMER FAMILY SUNDAYS EVERY SUNDAY ALL SUMMER LONG!
Designed to engage children’s curiosity about nature and gardening, the James Boyd Children’s Centre at the Toronto Botanical Garden provides families with an exciting indoor learning space filled with a collection of living plants and animals, specimens and models. An instructor will welcome families, answer questions and present hands-on crafts that kids can take home with them. Early positive experiences in nature can foster a lifelong appreciation of and respect for the outdoors. TBG’s Summer Family Sundays integrates science, art, and nature in activities that encourage families to learn together. Every Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Visit during the summer the TBG's seventeen contemporary themed gardens. Admission is free of charge and the gardens are open daily during daylight hours. TBG volunteer tour guides offer free garden tours weekly during the summer. If you have questions about gardening, the Toronto Master Gardeners provide free advice either in person or via the Internet. Bring
the Family! TORONTO
