This year 5 beds in the Emery Garden were planted with native pollinator plants. This project is part of Sabrina Malach's Pollinator Internship through the Metcalf Foundation. The plants were donated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (thank-you!)
With the help of PACT GTL's intern, Janika Oza, students each researched one of the species planted and hand painted a sign to mark its location in the garden. We bordered the beds with found wood logs, and erected bee condos.
These beautiful flowering plants are attracting bees, butterflies and other insects to the garden which aid in pollinating our food crops. We are enhancing diversity and adding beauty to the garden!
