POLLINATORS
Be part of our efforts to support the Home for Our Hardworking Pollinators project at the Barrie Common Roof (BCR).
We are building a commemorative brick plaque wall at the Barrie Common Roof, right behind our pollinator garden! For $100, you can purchase a personalized, commemorative plaque to honour a precious friend, in memory of a loved one, or beloved pet. Your plaque will become part of the permanent brick wall at our BCR location in the pollinator garden, filled with beautiful, native plants, for all to see as they enter the building. Your support helps us to continue to grow and maintain our native plant garden at the BCR.
​
Pollinators like bees and butterflies have co-evolved with specific grasses, shrubs and trees over millions of years. They need each other to survive. We want to help support our local pollinators and enable our community residents to have a garden space they can enjoy and rest in, while learning about the ecological benefits of this native garden space.
​
​Plaques are 7x2 inches, silver with black lettering. Maximum three (forty letter) lines of writing. For example:
