Bee City Brandon Hosts Informative Evening on Pollinators and Native Plants - Wednesday
In 2018, the City of Brandon proudly earned the title of Bee City, advocating for the conservation of native plants and pollinators in the Westman Region. Since then, a dedicated group of volunteers has been tirelessly spreading awareness about the significance of these vital elements of our ecosystem.
Tomorrow evening, Bee City Brandon will be hosting an informative session aimed at shedding light on ongoing and upcoming projects, with a special focus on the Eleanor Kidd Park Garden in Brandon.
"We realized that we didn't really tell them about native pollinators and why we were planting these native plants," shares Bee City Brandon Chair, Sherry Punak-Murphy. "So, that's why we're having this Volunteer Appreciation evening."
Join us as we delve into the development of Eleanor Kidd Park gardens and explore the importance of native plants, alongside their symbiotic relationships with animals and insects. Eugene Ross will also share insights into the indigenous significance of this park located beside the Assiniboine River, emphasizing the importance of native plants to indigenous communities.
Brandon residents can take pride in the stunning floral displays that grace our streets and gardens, enhancing the beauty of our city.
"If you live in Brandon or anywhere in the Westman Region and you want to learn about pollinators and native plants, and about the indigenous significance of those come and join us at the Riverbank Discovery Center at 7 pm!"
The Bee City Brandon Volunteer Appreciation evening awaits you this Wednesday, February 7th, at 7 pm at the Riverbank Discovery Center in Brandon.
