Our Garden
Our Native Pollinator Garden was established in June, 2022. This project was created by volunteers from Garden City Gardeners. The first planting was wild flower seeds and a few native plants. Our volunteers maintained the garden throughout the growing season with great results.​ Our garden is located at Victoria Lawn Cemetery, 431 Queenston Street, St. Catharines.
