As part of the Oak Bay Coolkit program, join us for this free community talk to learn about the importance of native plants!

Satinflower Nurseries will speak about the importance of native plants with particular attention paid to their ability to restore and enhance habitat within the urban context. The talk will highlight ways in which individuals can convert their properties into pollinator-friendly landscapes and how native plants restore biodiversity. Particular pollinator-to-plant relationships will be highlighted in relation to the months between Spring to Summer.
