Insects aren’t the only visitors to my garden – lots of people have stopped to talk with me while I’m working outside. Early in 2018, I created an educational brochure and placed it in my garden for when I’m not there. You can view a PDF version of the brochure (updated February 2024). (Select Legal, Landscape, and Fill Entire Paper in the PDF Print settings.) (The illustrations of bee nests are from author Heather Holm’s posters and are used with her permission.)
I cover the requirements of a successful pollinator garden, and where to find native plants in the Ottawa area. I recently updated it to add pollinator-friendly garden maintenance tips. Hundreds brochure have been taken so far.
