In the calm before the storm, we proclaimed Pollinator Week in #ptbo today and took a cycling tour of gardens planted in 2022. Peterborough’s biodiversity grows each year with our care, nurturing and community action #PollinatorWeek #BeeCity🐝@BeeCityCanada #MonarchUltra
Celebrating Pollinator Week on the Pedals & Pollinators bike tour! @lalalalachica read @CityPtbo's proclamation as a #BeeCityCanada member. We visited @ptbolibrary's stunning pollinator garden, & #HutchisonHouseMuseum medicinal gardens, where bumblebees were buzzing with action.
Next week is National Pollinator Week! We'll be riding in style for our event - Pedals & Pollinators - while visiting some beautiful pollinator gardens along the way. Details Below: Date/Time: Sat, June 24, 2:00-4:00pm Location: Meet at Millennium Park at Silver Bean bike racks
Planting a native understory garden is a great option for those looking to diversify shaded areas of their yard while providing habitat for insects and other wildlife. Download or print the Native Plant Understory Garden Guide at kawarthaconservation.com/Gardens.
Have you ever encountered a new-to-you bird, plant, animal, or insect, & wanted to know more? On June 14, join Kawartha Land Trust & Warren Dunlop for a webinar on iNaturalist and citizen science. For more details and to register, visit: ow.ly/MAz050Opb46
It’s garden cleanup time! In the next 4 weeks, we’ll be working every Monday evening at each pollinator garden across the City to get them looking beautiful for pollinators & the public! Visit our website to learn more about pollinators or to get involved in pollinator activism!
We hope there is outrage across the province by @fordnation's proposed plan to destroy parts of the #Greenbelt in order to build 50,000 new homes completely ignores the ecological biodiversity of this space. What about the homes of the 78 species at risk that live there? 1/5
It’s so nice to see the fall colours and blooms at this pollinator garden. Have a Happy Thanksgiving friends!
Thanks to all who helped build pollinator gardens along the Jackson Creek Trail as part of #nationalyouthweek2022 We used the ‘lasagna’ garden technique by layering newspaper, cardboard, compost & mulch to create the beds #pollinators #pollinatorgarden #peterborough
Have you heard about the new pollinator pockets being installed at the Weir, alongside @TCTrail? It’s happening, right now! Led by @OtonabeeC, with help from @oninvasives and other organizations, we are very excited to be part of this new project! #pollinatorgardens #JacksonPark
Are you ready for the next garden party?! Meet us at 4:00pm next Tuesday, May 10 at the stage in Nicholls Oval Park. We’ll be planting & mulching the pollinator gardens in the park, and then pulling garlic mustard from alongside the trails.
Thank you garden helpers, especially the youngest of 5 months old! All the pollinator gardens in Nicholls Oval Park have been cleaned up, with compost added and ready for another year of providing nectar for pollinators and beauty for people.
We're back in the gardens tomorrow! Join us this Tuesday morning for a Spring Cleanup. #springcleanup Date: Tuesday, April 26th from 9:00-11:00am Bring: trowel & gloves Meeting location: Ptbo Folk Festival main stage (Nicholls Oval Park)
It really is a beautiful, gentle snowfall, but I get how not everyone might be enjoying Mother Nature’s late season shovelling challenge, so this @CityPtbo @PtboPollinators sign is a reminder of what we have to look forward to! Happy snowy spring weekend ❄️☀️🌷
Have you heard about the @TNatureOfCities Festival? Carlotta James & Dawn Pond will be sharing stories on how pollinator pathways have become a movement across the city of #Peterborough. This virtual festival is taking place on March 29-31, register here: tnoc-festival.com/wp/
Carlotta James & Dawn Pond are thrilled to participate in the upcoming @TNatureOfCities Festival! They will be sharing their experiences on building pollinator pathways & how cities can transform their downtowns to create a more sustainable future for pollinators & people alike.
We were back in the garden today, this time in Curve Lake at Dorothy Taylor’s garden! A little bit of garden love, with new flowers and mulch makes a big difference! #pollinatorgardens #curvelakefirstnation
Why plant anise hyssop? Because it’s a pollinator magnet, it’s native, it smells amazing, you can use the leaves for tea, and it’s gorgeous!

Yes - green waste pickup has started but PLEASE do not be too aggressive in cleaning out your gardens yet. Our very important pollinators still NEED that habitat. 🐝 🦋 🐝. Too early to rake lawns too. @ptbogreenup @PtboPollinators please help protect our 🦋🐝 and food supply.
