Overcoming shortage of space, a shady location, and miles of “red tape,” the Glebe Annex Community Association established a pollinator garden in Dalhousie South Park on Bell Street. Plants include Zigzag Goldenrod, White Snakeroot, Yellow Giant Hyssop, Honewort, Anise Hyssop, Golden Alexanders, and Virgin’s Bower Clematis.
In July 2021, GACA president Sue Stefko says, “So far, it seems that insects of the chewing kind are enjoying the garden more than insects of the buzzing kind, but we’re starting to see some of the flowers peek out, and we’re hopeful that the plants can grow and get stronger before they are totally devoured.”
