Create your own pollinator garden with our planting starter pack!
Many pollinators, particularly native pollinators, are endangered species. The Swallowtail Butterfly, the Yellow-Banded Bumblebee and the Rusty Patched Bumblebee are a few examples experiencing the impacts of climate change, loss of biodiversity and habitat destruction. Luckily, the solution can be simple. By planting pollinator gardens, we can help make Lanark County the place to bee!
With a Pollinator Starter Pack and interested individuals like you, we can provide crucial food sources and shelter for threatened species.
The Climate Network Lanark Youth Group is hosting a by-donation plant drive where participants can pick up a plant pack for use in starting their very own pollinator garden.

- A variety of native plants, including different colours, heights and/or blooming seasons
