Blooming Boulevards

By Ward 1

About the garden:

Blooming Boulevards volunteers grew these native pollinator plants from local wildflower seeds this spring. The plants are being installed in the 4 beds at this location. These hardy perennial species will bloom throughout the growing season, beautifying the Lakeshore streetscape and providing our native bees, butterflies and other pollinators with food and shelter year-round. The garden beds will be part of a pollinator habitat corridor connecting our parks, which will further support biodiversity.
