Event Details:

Join the City of Waterloo’s Pollinator Working Group at a small community planting event in Waterloo Park.  Help us establish healthy habitat for pollinators by planting this woodland garden with up to 75 native wildflowers. 

Try your hand at our matching game – learn some fun facts about native pollinators!  Seeds and/or seedlings will be available so you can get started on your own native pollinator patch (while quantities last)!

Key information for participants

·       Participants must wear closed-toe footwear and provided cloth gloves.  Bring your own bottled water.  During planting events, city staff provide direction and supply hand tools and cloth gloves.

·       Need volunteer hours for high school?  We’ll have forms on hand to ensure your efforts are counted! 

·       Moderate physical activity is required such as bending, lifting, pushing and walking on uneven terrain within natural areas.

·       All participating youth (under age 18) must be supervised by a parent or adult guardian.

·       Use our parking map to find free parking in uptown lots. 

This woodland garden is located in-front of the Eby farmhouse.  Enter the park off of Young & Albert St, head to the Park Inn parking lot and follow the footpath to Eby farmhouse at the top of the hill just past the log schoolhouse.

Drop in during the event or sign-up in advance using our online participant sign-up form no later than 12 pm on the day before the event.
