The Seasonality of Native Plants: From Early Spring to Late Fall

Join the Compost Education Centre from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM for a discussion on planting natives.

Southern Vancouver Island is an exceptionally unique and special environment due to the wet winters and dry summers. Many species have adapted to the drought by emerging early in the spring and dying back in the summer. In this presentation, we will highlight ID tips for spring germinates and emerging bulbs. We will also discuss which species to implement for continual blooms from March to November; providing both interest and important nectaring opportunities for pollinators. Lastly, we will go full circle with the lifecycle of the plants and take a closer look at how to collect seeds from a few different species. By the end of this presentation, you should have a better understanding of the seasonality of native plants from early spring to late fall.
