Join Us & Explore the World of Pollinators

Join Sangeeta Thomas to explore how we can support pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds through intentional garden choices. These important creatures all have different needs - so creating pollinator habitat means going beyond just planting flowers. We'll look at how native and drought tolerant plants, blooms throughout the seasons, and seasonal care practices can come together to offer food, shelter and space for a diversity of pollinators to thrive. Whether you garden on a balcony or in a backyard, you can help make your green space part of a bigger ecological network.

Join Us for a Presentation About Gardening for Birds

Join Jessica Henry from the Vancouver Botanical Gardens Association (VBGA) to explore how to use ecological gardening practices and include native and drought-tolerant plants to beatify your garden and help build habitat for urban birds. We will discuss simple changes we can make to the way we approach landscaping and garden maintenance, and consider small but powerful plant choices that can contribute to creating bird-friendly pockets of habitat to support wildlife biodiversity in our cities, backyards and urban green spaces.
