| Environmental Coordinator "Khaleesi" begins work on the garden |
With many thanks to the Peterborough Horticultural Society,
Camp Kawartha has received funding to create a Pollinator’s Garden. Working
with the Green Up Ecology Park in Peterborough, we were able to find a variety
of native wildflowers for the project. Located at the Environment Centre, the
Garden contains 18 different species of flowers, including: Black Eyed Susan’s,
Wild Strawberry, Joe Pye Weed, and three different kinds of Milkweed- just to
name a few.

We hope that this garden will attract a wide range of
pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, moths, and birds. Serving as an
educational tool, the Pollinator’s Garden will allow children to observe local
pollinators, all while providing a beautiful habitat for these small creatures
that play a huge role in the health of the environment.
A round of applause is in order for the Gainey Cabin girls
from Session C. They enthusiastically spent an afternoon at the Environment
Centre, breaking the soil in which the garden is now flourishing. Their hard
work was a great help in this project, and definitely sped up the construction
process.
All those who have helped with the establishment of this
educational garden are greatly appreciated, and we look forward to seeing the
garden flourish and bloom in the years to come.
