Wildflower gardening, Native plants, Eco-friendly gardens

Role: Pollinator Garden Volunteers
Project: Frank Street Bee Butterfly Garden

Place: Frank Street Bee Butterfly Garden, across from 360-384 Frank Street, Centretown Ottawa 
Type: volunteer opportunities

The Frank Street Bee and Butterfly Garden is a grassroots volunteer-run pollinator garden group founded in 2020. We're based in the Centretown neighbourhood of Ottawa.

We are seeking additional helping hands this summer to help maintain the gardens and water. We meet weekly on Wednesdays at 6 pm to work together but additional help is needed throughout the week. We communicate through Discord and by email.

Why a Bee & Butterfly Garden?

With farmers and gardeners using pesticides and the disappearance of habitats for insects to live in, bee and butterfly populations are in sharp decline throughout much of the world. 

The Frank Street Bee Butterfly Garden is dedicated to doing what they can to attract pollinators rather than swat them away. Wildflowers in the garden include over 54 native species.

Where:

Our garden starts at the corner of Bank Street by Books Bazaar and extends on the north side of Frank alongside Staples parking lot. We also have various other locations around the neighbourhood.

What:

Much of our work is hands on, in-person at the garden on Frank St. Some work takes place online, so you can help out even if you can't always make it to the garden!
