Environmental Benefits
Green spaces benefit our environment.
They filter pollutants and dust from the air, provide shade and lower temperatures in urban areas, and reduce soil erosion and contamination of our waterways. They also increase oxygen, act as carbon sinks, decrease pollution, improve indoor air quality, and attract wildlife and other natural attractions.
Pollinator Poster
Flowers Canada Growers, in partnership with the Honey Bee Research Centre and the Canadian Honey Council, have developed a poster of annuals and perennials that attract pollinators. A diverse garden helps fight food and habitat loss, as well as varroa mites and pathogens that harm pollinators.
