So what is this pollinator festival about? We, at Bee Sweet Nature Co, want everyone to celebrate all of our pollinators from flies, bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to bats. They are all crucial to the health of our ecosystems and vital to a healthy food chain. It is a fun-filled day of walking tours and interaction at educational booths manned by volunteers from various environmental organizations. To support our important pollinators, we want to promote the importance of gardening with native plants that are seed-sourced from the southern Ontario landscape.
