In 2021, the Town of St. Marys planted our first Pollinator Garden! It is also commonly referred to as a Wildflower Area. It is a 165 square metre garden area located within the St. Marys Cemetery and adjacent to Sparling Bush. Types of flowers initially planted include Black-eyed Susan, bergamot, coreopsis, purple coneflower, white coneflower, sedum, balloon flower, butterfly milk weed, and blanket flower. This is a pilot project and will help us make informed decisions regarding future additional pollinator gardens. Throughout 2021, Town Staff will monitor this garden and anticipate that the plants will reach full growth in 2022.
The TD Friends of the Environment Foundation has generously sponsored the creation of this pollinator garden.
From June 15 to June 21, 2021, we held a colouring contest to celebrate the start of our Pollinator Garden! Winners received one of three fun prize packs including a six piece set of kids gardening tools, a hand held hummingbird feeder, bright flower pot, gummy treats and wildflower seeds!
We had almost 50 creative entries including one large project from the St. Marys Emergency Child Care.
