Ladybug Community Garden

The Butterflyway is coming along.

Butterflies need nectar plants for food and host plants to lay their eggs. This quick vid shares some of the best plants you can grow to attract common butterflies!

The intrepid Butterflyway Rangers at the Ladybug Butterflyway project thank the David Suzuki Foundation and the gardeners at the Ladybug Community Garden for all the assistance in providing support, inspiration, plants and labour. Our Butterflyway is planted and grateful for the continuing gentle rain helping its roots establish:) Many thanks from Paul, Chris, Emma, Tiffany and Christine.

Ready for planting!

Ladybug Community Garden is part of the Butterflyway Project through the David Susuki Foundation. We support butterflies in my backyard (BIMBY).

This Yellow Faced Bumblee was seen in the Ladybug Community Garden possibly searching for a place to lay her eggs. Welcome!

Ladybug Garden has become a site for the Butterflyway Project. Here is a description of the group involved. "Vancouver Butterflyway Rangers started the 2019 season on March 9 at the UBC Botanical Garden. 45 new Butterflyway Rangers from Vancouver spent the day getting to know each other and learning about their own potential to help butterflies and wild pollinators they love. The David Suzuki Foundation believes solutions are in our nature. We also believe we are together in... one nature. The Butterflyway Project is here to make sure we can maximize our potential to help butterflies and wild pollinators. Butterflies are a keystone species, that means when they do well, our environment is also looking up. For the next eight months, Vancouver Butterflyway Rangers will plant and plot with their friends, families, neighbours and communities to help butterflies and wild pollinators find food and shelter. Vancouver Butterflyway Rangers are also committed to learning more about these lovely pollinators and ways to help. Yes, butterflies and wild pollinators can count on us. See more
