Garden kits will help pollinators – bees & butterflies – in your yard. Looking to get your garden started or refresh it with some perfect blooms? Conservation Halton’s Garden In-A-Box kit of perennial native wildflowers which will bloom year after year.
There are three different kits to encourage residents to plant native plants in their gardens to help protect pollinators like the Monarch butterfly. The shade kits are sold out; however there are still some sun and rain kits available.
Kits are $45 plus tax each. For more information and to purchase your kit, visit the Garden In-A-Box webpage. The kits will be available for pick up this Saturday (just in time for Mother’s Day) at the Conservation Halton Administration Office, 2596 Britannia Road West, near Guelph Line in Lowville.
Each kit is ideal for an area about 4 feet x 8 feet. Each plant is wrapped in coco fiber pots so it’s easy to just plant them directly into the ground. In their second or third year of growth they should fill the area nicely. If you prefer a very full garden, you may want to consider doubling the number of plants for your space.
