As Spring approaches and the snow starts to thaw, we can begin to get excited for the coming season. 

Every year, March 12 is recognized as National Plant a Flower Day. 

This day is meant as a celebration for Spring and planting flowers!

Although it is still too cold to start planting outside in our climate, many seeds can be started inside with the help of a sunny window. 

Marigolds and Daffodils are the official flowers of March, or you can plant a flower to help our favourite pollinating friends like bees and butterflies!

Bee friendly flowers:         

  • Poppy
  • Foxglove
