Montréal2022Cet espace vert à reçu la certification Mon jardin Espace pour la vie dans le cadre d’un projet pilote entre 2021 et 2022. L’intention est de mettre de l’avant les aménagements municipaux qui favorisent la biodiversité tout en enjolivant l’espace public. On croit que l’essence même du programme Mon jardin Espace pour la vie correspond aux objectifs de la ville de Montréal visant à protéger...

Montreal2022I love gardening and want to contribute to create pollinator-friendly spaces in the city. When we first moved to rosemont in 2021, the garden was mostly grass and a stone patio. I ripped up the grass, installed raised beds, removed paving stones to create new planting beds and added planters in the back alley. I planted a mix of perennials, annuals, and edible crops, starting mostly from seed....

Verdun2022After spending my career on tour with circus companies around the world, as soon as I had my own garden I needed to get some dirt under my nails! Our family moved in November 2020 to a fix-er-upper in Verdun. We knew the renos could wait, but a garden filled with native plants couldn’t. I grew up in a family with a deep environmental commitment, but as a professional circus performer as always in...

Montreal2022Two years ago, our garden lost its centerpiece, a centennial ash tree which had lost its battle with emerald ash borers. The tree had been home to many birds and a squirrel family, and removing it had destroyed the lawn planted by previous owners. With the loss of the tree and the front yard in shambles, we decided to try to keep the garden a refuge for the wildlife we had so enjoyed....

Beaconsfield2022Less grass to mow & attract pollinators.

Saint-Sauveur2022We received our first certification four years ago. Since then our garden has only grown bigger and better to provide an oasis and safe haven for a great variety of wildlife in our neighbourhood. Our “potager” nourishes our family and friends from May until November. With climate change, it is a real challenge to keep the plants healthy and productive. But by the end of the day, the environment...

Montreal2022This is our 7th year since we created a garden to attract/save/protect bees and butterflies. This year when we were home, we counted 30 days that we saw a monarch or more in our garden giving us a total of 57 monarchs, two days we had two at a time, four days had three at a time, three times we had four at a time, two times we had five at a time and the other 19 days we saw only one. Two...

Winnipeg2022It was interesting to hear on tv about 8 years ago that monarchs were endangered and that there was actually something helpful gardeners could do. Since then we’ve grown more and more milkweed each year. We’ve seen the butterflies laying eggs, watched the tiny caterpillars grow every day, find chrysalises and see newborns stretch their wings. It’s a happy calming place to sit on the rocks in the...
