An event and resources worth highlighting now and preserving for future reference:

National Pollinator Week 2020 is a time to celebrate pollinators’ essential roles in a healthy ecosystem and share information on how we can protect and support them.

Pollinator Partnership Canada’s resources include 34 ecoregional pollinator-friendly planting guides tailored to specific areas of Canada. As a gardener who tends outdoor spaces in the country (at my mom’s home) and the city (my balcony) and strives to design, create, and maintain supportive habitats for pollinators, I will be consulting the Lower Mainland guide as well as the Honey Bee Forage Guide.
