Planting Gardens in unusual places. And planting to keep pollinators buzzing.

Program Title: Grow Hope; Saving the Pollinators
Description: In this episode we go all-in on planting, planting gardens that are gyms, therapy, and workplaces that don't take a lot of work. Elizabeth Peirce is an award-winning author, a mom, and an avid and frugal gardener in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In her new book, Grow Hope, she brings a fresh take on starting a garden from scratch, kitchen scraps, and ingenuity. She sees gardens as gyms, workplaces, and classrooms. And also as a place to toss your banana peels and bicycle box cardboard.

And planting that attracts pollinators, our little at-risk insect pals that do all the heavy lifting when plants want to have sex, with a middle man.

Pollinator Partnership Canada is a non-profit that aims to protect and promote pollinators and their ecosystems through conservation, education, and research. I had a chance to talk with the organization’s director, Vickie Wojcik about our pollinator pals, and there are hundreds of different kinds
