Celebrate Pollinator Week!
This week is Pollinator Week in Canada and the U.S. so we're celebrating the bees, butterflies, hoverflies, moths, and other insects that make our gardens grow.
It's a time to raise awareness for pollinators and spread the word about what we can do to protect them. The great thing about Pollinator Week is that you can celebrate and get involved any way you like! Popular events include planting for pollinators, hosting garden tours, participating in online bee and butterfly ID workshops, and so much more.
Check the map at pollinatorpartnership.ca to find an event in your neighbourhood. And if you don't see one there, remember that Pollinator Week happens this week every year, so you have time to plan one for 2026!
From our Youth Blog : The Importance of Pollinators in Our Ecosystem
Pollinators are bees, flies, wasps, beetles and even some birds! Pollinators carry pollen from one plant to another, a process essential for plant reproduction. Most of the pollen transferred by insects and hummingbirds is done so unknowingly. The particles of pollen stick to their bodies and get carried and dropped off to a different place creating harmony within the ecosystem. It is said that almost one third of the food we eat is directly connected to the presence of pollinators in our environment.
Seedy Saturdays & Seedy Sundays - another season gone!
This time of year marks a slow down of some of our activities here at Seeds of Diversity, now that folks have the seeds they need to grow another year’s garden. This means we finally have a bit of space in our minds to reflect and look back on the last six months. On my mind today…… Seedy Saturdays.
Seedy Saturday and Seedy Sunday events came and went in a whirlwind of excitement. 180 events (at minimum, this is the number promoted on our page) across all 10 provinces saw many, many thousands of people show up for seeds; for connection; for community; for knowledge sharing; for fun. And fun they were! Take a look at a few of the images shared with us:
