Bringing nature back to the neighbourhood.
Creating pollinator-friendly gardens through community projects and personalized services.
What We Do
Rewilders is a community-based ecological initiative dedicated to restoring native plant habitat throughout Toronto. Since 2023, we’ve transformed underused urban spaces into thriving gardens that support biodiversity, pollinators, and neighbourhood wellbeing.
Alongside these community projects, Rewilders now offers native garden services for homeowners, schools, organizations, and businesses. Whether you want to create a new habitat garden, learn through hands-on workshops, or bring native plants into your own space, we’re here to help.

Land Acknowledgement
Toronto/Takaronto is the territories of the Anishinabewaki, Wendake-Nionwentsio, Hodonosaunee, Mississauga and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
Rewilders would like to acknowledge that these lands were taken from the Indigenous peoples who lived and stewarded them for generations. They worked in harmony with nature and each other sharing in a relationships of reciprocity. There is much work to be done decolonizing our relationship with the natural word and the Indigenous people of these lands. Rewilders aims to learn and continue to practice a more holistic and sustainable way of life emphasizing the interrelationships between wildlife, plants and people.
