Pollinator Pathways Project (P3) is designing and installing 25 in-ground pollinator gardens in residences, businesses, and institutions in the Hamilton Road community. These gardens will be installed over a period of April to June of 2025. Each pollinator garden will consist of up to 100 perennial seedlings, with up to 9 varieties of plants. The seedlings will be grown by P3 volunteers, who will also assist the 25 recipients to prepare their garden and plant the seedlings.
P3 will coordinate with the Hamilton Road BIA to use their social media to advertise the project, communicate each stage of the project, and provide a final report on the project. P3 will provide each recipient with detailed information on how to care for their garden. In addition, P3 will provide a lawn sign with each garden that will identify the plants in the garden and the type of pollinators that these perennial plants will attract, as well as the benefits of pollinator gardens in reversing the decline of pollinators in their community. It is anticipated that the installation of these 25 gardens will encourage the neighbours to install their own gardens.
Benefits of pollinator pathways
Pathways of pollinator gardens are critical for the survival of pollinators. These pathways serve as corridors that provide pollinators food, shelter, and essential habitats, which enables them to travel and thrive throughout our world.
