I accidentally knocked this little one off their leaf! Please leave all the milkweed this season, even if it’s taking over… I almost made this mistake. 😬 it’s an incredible monarch year in Saskatchewan!

Please join us from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on Sunday, July 19 for a free tour of four different Pollinator Paradises!

Our itinerary centers on Wildwood and Lakeview subdivisions, with stops at three home gardens and a neighbourhood park that conserves a natural stand of aspen forest. Highlights will include a visit with a homeowner who completely redesigned her yard after a run-in with City bylaw officers and a chance to meet a couple of knowledgeable young native plant enthusiasts. Whether you are an experienced native-plant gardener or a complete beginner, you will find yourself in excellent company, with lots to learn and enjoy.

Space is limited to 25, and pre-registration is required. If you sign up and cannot make it please email us at [email protected] so we can open up a space for others.

In the first year these were just tiny leaves trying to survive the crows hopping about the garden. 5 years later there are 8 blooms on one clump and frigid mining bees! Please correct my bee ID if it’s wrong.

Looking forward to expanding these gardens this year. I love that all my clients are women who are dedicated to helping the land they live on.

If you have a project you’d like help with designing or implementing, I’ll be considering taking on one or two more small projects in July.
