River of Flowers: Toronto

The river in River of Flowers is an evocative way of describing the planting of urban meadows in 'pollination streams' or 'floral green corridors' in order to help our pollinators, bees, butterflies and other insect pollinators, find forage in the city. It describes the flight path of the pollinators as much as it does the flow of wildflowers.

Each community garden is a pond of pollen for our pollinators. Get joined into the River!
