Planting seeds in the snow can help create ‘pollinator pathway’ in East TorontoErin Simpson prepares to plant milkweed seeds in the snow as part of the “pollinator pathway” program in East Toronto being created by The Ground Crew. Toronto has more than 360 species of native bees, with the City of Toronto having an official bee called the Bicolored Striped Sweat Bee (Bicoloured Agapostemon or Agapostemon Virescens). The goal of both events is to give residents a chance to collect the pollinator plant seeds and either plant them on their own properties or share them with friends to plant. Simpson admitted that for many people, the idea of planting seeds in the winter snow does not make sense to them. All of the seeds available through The Ground Crew are native plants which feed pollinators and also support Canadian native biodiversity.
