Create your own pollinator-friendly garden!
- Choose a variety of flowering plants in groupings of 3-5 to attract pollinators.
- Choose native plants, they are well acclimated to our growing conditions and require less care.

- Choose to put in at least 3 flowering plants to bloom in each season.

Bee City Timmins Pollinator-Friendly Pilots
The City of Timmins is a proud Bee City and we are committed to creating healthy pollinator habitats. The Bee City Pollinator Team selected two pilot locations to transform city plots that were previously filled with one species of annuals to a pollinator-friendly habitat filled with a variety of species.
Location #1: The Timmins Public Library Pilot
Location #2: The Michael JJ Doody Centre of Excellence
