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
- Sweet William

Butterfly friendly flowers:
- Chamomile

Happy National Plant a Flower Day!
