![🎉 Wild About Saskatoon Certifies the 200th Pollinator Paradise 🎉
Since launching in 2021, this volunteer-run initiative has grown to 204 certified native plant gardens across the city. The highest concentrations of Pollinator Paradise YXE gardens can be found in Buena Vista [13], Caswell Hill [10], Haultain [10], Wildwood [9], North Park [8], and Nutana [8]!
Pollinator Paradise YXE recognizes the efforts of Saskatoon residents to support local biodiversity by bringing native plants home to urban parks, boulevards, balconies and yards.
“In a region where less than 5% of the natural habitat is left, it is exciting to see our magnificent native wildflowers literally popping up all around us,” says Wild about Saskatoon’s Joanne Blythe. “Reaching this milestone is a tribute to our ‘growing’ community.”
To qualify as a Pollinator Paradise, each site must feature a variety of native plants that provide resources of food, water and shelter for pollinating insects throughout the growing season.
“From the first fuzzy crocus of spring to the last fading asters of fall, native plants have evolved here on the prairies over thousands of years,” Blythe points out. “They are tuned to our demanding climate and to the special needs of the native butterflies, birds and bees. Every Pollinator Paradise is an expression of gratitude and love for this special part of the world.”
