This garden is located on the Millennium Trail at the new Station Rd. rest stop.
It was coordinated by the Millennium Trail volunteers and PEC Garden ( formerly PEC Horticultural Society).
The plants, native shrubs and perennials were supplied by PEC Garden. The municipality has supplied mulch and a water tote for these gardens.
This is the first if 4 pollinator gardens planted in the County. All four were coordinated with the help of the PEC Horticultural Society.
These pictures are of the garden at the Millennium Lookout. This garden was funded by a Community Foundation grant.
Cody and Evelyn (staff) helped with this project.
The garden contains 4 shrubs and 15 species of native plants. It will be maintained by Garden PEC
(formerly PEC Horticultural Society).
We’re having a plant and seedling sale during the Wellington Community Market in the Wellington United Church parking lot.
We need lots of plants/seedlings for this sale.
If you have plants that need dividing or plants that have self-sown in your garden, please consider potting them up for the sale.
If you have extra seedlings please donate them to the plant sale.
We will also accept house plants if you have them!!
Some good plants (just to name a few) to donate are:
Hostas, peonies, irises, sedums, herbs (chives, thyme, interesting mints, oregano).
Extra seedlings of tomatoes, peppers or herbs and flowers are great!
Please do not share invasive plants like lily of the valley, bugleweed or day lilies.
The money from this plant sale will help fund two pollinators gardens on the Millennium Trail.
For more information on where you can drop off your plants before the sale please contact Lise Bois at lisefbois(at)gmail(dot)com or at 416-554-2897

Hello Fellow Tree Lovers.
| I have just received the list from Quinte Conservation for their spring seedling availability. Last year I was able to order 650 seedlings for a number of community members! I’d like to see even more trees planted this year! I’m hoping that some of you or someone you know would be interested in planting trees either on your/their own properties or to do community planting on municipal properties. Here is the list of trees available: White pine, white spruce, white cedar – $1.25 Red oak, bur oak, white birch, silver maple – $1.50 Black chokecherry, chokecherry, black elderberry, fragrant sumac – $2.00 These seedlings would be available in the 1st week of April into the first week of May. Please be aware that this order would be a fundraiser to help fund the purchasing of more “mature” trees to plant on municipal lands. All proceeds would be used to purchase these trees. The funds will be administered by the PEC Horticultural Society and Tree the County. If you wish to order trees, please contact me ASAP via the email below. If you wish to be part of a community planting please contact me for more information. Thank you all Lise Bois lisebois(at)gmail(dot)com |
