Mindful Gardening visits...Pollinator Gardens

Mindful Gardening visits Pollinator Gardens, a family-owned rural property just outside of Bradford, Ontario.

It's a gardener's dreamscape: large vegetable gardens, roaming chickens, a greenhouse, and many native and non-native flowers and trees that support different species of pollinators including butterflies. In addition to touring the property, I speak with owner Maria DaCosta about how she supports pollinators and how she is preparing for the months ahead through seed saving and preserving. Pollinator Gardens also sells hand-harvested seeds from vegetable and flower plants grown on the property.
