A seed mixture that covers 20 square metres of land!

Bees and other pollinators are absolutely essential for preserving biodiversity and our food security. However, with the loss of their natural habitats, climate change and the use of pesticides, several pollinator species are now in a bad way. Planting native flowers is a concrete way of supporting biodiversity and the survival of local pollinators.

This seed mix can be sown directly in spring, as soon as all risk of frost has passed. It has been designed to create a veritable buffet for pollinators, as well as for the eyes! It contains 10 species of plants that flower from June to October, so winged workers can forage in your garden all season long. It also includes plants native to Eastern Canada to ensure that pollinators here have access to a suitable food source.

Advice from the urban nutritionist

1 - Make sure the soil is well aerated and drained. Remove all weeds.

2 - To help distribute the seeds evenly, mix them with a light medium such as fine sand, vermiculite or sowing soil.

3 - Spread the mixture evenly over the soil.

4 - Press gently on the soil to create good contact with the seeds. The seeds should be lightly covered with soil and no longer visible.

5 - Water the soil so that the seeds are well hydrated. Keep the soil moist throughout the germination period. If the seeds reappear after watering, make sure you cover them again.

6 - Pay attention to the plants' needs. Water regularly and remove weeds. The first month is the period when you need to look after your plants the most.
