KindEarth Collective works to create pollinator-friendly gardens in green spaces throughout the city. By planting native flowers and plants, these spaces provide food and habitat for pollinators while also making our city greener and more vibrant.
We plan to work with the City and local businesses to help fund and support these gardens. Community involvement is also a key part of the project. Volunteers will have opportunities to help plant and learn about pollinators, and over time we hope to introduce an Adopt-a-Garden program, where community members can help care for the spaces.
We also look forward to collaborating with organizations like the Helen Schuler Nature Centre, which already provides valuable education about local ecosystems and pollinators.
Pollinators are some of the hardest-working species on the planet. Bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, hummingbirds, bats, and other pollinators help plants reproduce by moving pollen from flower to flower. Around 75% to 95% of all flowering plants on Earth need help with pollination. Pollinators are some of the most important creatures on this Earth, and they need our help.
Beyond food production, pollinators help support healthy ecosystems by maintaining plant diversity and providing food and habitat for wildlife. Unfortunately, many pollinator species are facing significant challenges. Habitat loss, pesticide use, disease, and climate change have contributed to declining pollinator populations across North America. According to recent research, more than one in five pollinator species assessed in North America are considered at risk, with habitat loss being one of the biggest threats they face.
The Pollinator Project was created to establish pollinator-friendly habitats throughout our community. By planting gardens filled with native and pollinator-friendly species, we can provide food, shelter, and nesting opportunities that help pollinators thrive.
These gardens do more than support bees and butterflies. They create beautiful community spaces, increase biodiversity, encourage environmental stewardship, and provide opportunities for people to connect with nature.
Our gardens focus on a mix of native and pollinator-friendly species that provide blooms throughout the growing season. Some of our favourites include:
🌿 Milkweed
🌿 Lupine
🌿 Purple Coneflower
🌿 Prairie Coneflower
🌿 Blanket Flower
🌿 Harebells
🌿 Jacob's Ladder
🌿 Columbines
🌿 Asters
🌿 Blue Flax
🌿 Fleabane
🌿 Blue Oat Grass
🌿 Blue Fescue Grass
Together, these plants provide nectar, pollen, shelter, and seasonal interest while creating beautiful.
Supporting pollinators doesn't require a large garden. Even small actions can make a difference:
🐝 Plant native or pollinator-friendly flowers
🌿 Leave a small area of your yard a little wild
🍂 Leave leaves and plant stems in place until spring temperatures consistently reach 10°C
🚫 Reduce pesticide use when possible
💧 Provide a source of water
🌼 Support community pollinator projects
Every flower planted, every habitat created, and every person who chooses to care helps build a healthier future for pollinators.
Your idea could help create the next pollinator habitat in our city.
