Where: Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park
Join us at Tree Fest and learn more about the hard-working insects that help us to grow fruit, vegetables, and beautiful flowers.
We’ve been surveying gardens around the region all summer and are learning to recognize the diversity of bees, wasps, flies, beetles, butterflies, and other pollinators. Come and have a look at the raised garden beds next to the Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park to see what pollinators have found the variety of food plants and flowers there.

Use this form to record the pollinators in your garden. It provides a reminder to record important details such as weather conditions and the flower each pollinator was visiting.

iNaturalist WPP project
Our WPP project in iNaturalist allows us to keep track of the pollinators we (and our partners) are seeing. It’s also a great help in identifying pollinators and teaching us to recognize the many species.
WPP blog posts: Meet the pollinators
This section of our blog is about individual pollinators that we’ve seen in our gardens.
