Richmond’s Nectar Trail is a community-driven initiative that helps connect isolated pollinator habitats through a network of small “stepping stone” gardens. These gardens give bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects places to rest and feed as they move across the city.

Residents, businesses, and institutions can volunteer to host a minimum 1-square metre pollinator garden on their property. Participating gardens:

• Use drought-tolerant plants that bloom from spring to fall
• Avoid the use of pesticides
• Help expand habitat for native pollinators

Make your mark and help pollinators in your community.

🌸 Plant: Plant nectar-rich flowers in at least 1 square metre of your outdoor space

Whether you're a resident, business, or institution, your participation is vital for a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Together, we can create a vibrant trail of nectar across Richmond, offering a lifeline to our essential pollinators. 🌺✨
