A simple seed bomb—made from soil, clay, and milkweed seeds—held in hand, representing a small but meaningful way communities in Melgund Township are coming together through the Milkweed to Market project to restore pollinator habitat, support the Monarch butterfly, and connect art, ecology, and local action from planting to paper-making.

This article explores the importance and overlooked beauty of milkweed, highlighting its essential role in supporting the Monarch butterfly and broader pollinator ecosystems. It connects this ecological value to the community-led Milkweed to Market project in Melgund Township, where residents participate in planting, seed bomb making, and habitat restoration through arts and recreation programming. The piece also reflects on how these small, local actions contribute to a deeper understanding of the land, including informal baseline observations tied to the nearby Deep Geological Repository impact assessment, while extending into creative practices like papermaking and youth entrepreneurship.

ART BORUPS CORNERS SOCIETY

Art Borups Corners is a non-profit arts incubator based in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario. We bring artists, youth, and local residents together through hands-on creative projects, workshops, and storytelling rooted in everyday life in the North. Our focus is on making space for people to try things, share skills, and build confidence through art that grows out of where they live.


We’re also a place for testing ideas and working across different ways of making — from land-based practice to digital work and everything in between. Much of what we do happens through partnerships and shared projects, connecting local creative work with wider conversations while keeping things grounded, practical, and community-led.
