Butterfly Garden Refresh Project

What is this project about?

The Butterfly Garden Refresh Project will revitalize two existing butterfly gardens located along the Greenway Trail and G2G Rail Trail corridor in Blyth, Ontario. As part of Blyth's 150th Anniversary celebrations in 2027, the project will restore approximately 1,152 square feet of pollinator habitat through the installation of diverse native plant species designed to support butterflies, bees, birds, and other pollinators. The project includes professional site preparation, native landscaping, educational signage, and pollinator-supporting features such as bee houses, butterfly shelters, and bat boxes. Existing pathways and benches will create an accessible and welcoming environment where residents and visitors can connect with nature, learn about pollinator conservation, and celebrate Blyth's natural and community heritage.

Why is this project important to the community?

The Butterfly Garden Refresh Project will restore a valued public space that has become overgrown and difficult to maintain. The project will improve biodiversity, support declining pollinator populations, beautify a highly visible area of the village, and create a welcoming destination for residents and visitors. As part of Blyth's 150th Anniversary celebrations, the project will leave a lasting environmental and community legacy while promoting pride, stewardship, and connections between people and nature.
