In my experience, native species gardeners are very welcoming to beginners. The important part of your own growth is that you do the work and use the tools that are available so that you can contribute to these groups meaningfully.

I have found groups online through social media by searching “native species gardening in (enter your province)” and by searching online for groups affiliated with organizations promoting biodiversity, such as the David Suzuki Foundation and the Butterfly Way Project. These kinds of groups connect you to even more resources that will help you follow the path that is right for you.
