Thank you to everyone who came out to our Pollinator Gardening for Shaded Areas workshop at the Water Center! Such a great group, great energy, and we’re excited to see how amazing the meadow space will look next year.

It’s not too late to get those native plants in the ground! Fall is the best time to plant—cool weather and winter rains help roots establish strong and deep before next spring. If you’ve got a spot that needs some love, now’s the moment.

Things are looking pretty sparse at the demonstration garden at Pacific Community Park. Unfortunately, it’s one of two local sites that saw major pollinator habitat losses this fall. Take a look here: vancouverbeeproject.org/blog/1ap8yzu...

From our friends at Clark Green Neighbors:
Say BOO to landfills - let's make spooky season sustainable! 🎃♻️🎃
Give your Halloween pumpkins a second life. Instead of throwing them in the garbage and sending them to the landfill, compost them to reduce food waste and nourish the earth.
