We began collecting information about pollinator gardens planted or being planted in the Peterborough area in March of 2017. In August a couple of members began adding gardens that existed in public spaces such schools or parks.
Personal information remains in our database and is not shown on the map. The site is labelled as private and only lists whether it is existing or new. We do plan to use emails to provide information relevant to pollinator gardens and notice of events. A future project will involve a rough analysis of the species data in the registration garden descriptions to ascertain what seems to do well here and if there are seasonal lacks.
We do provide more information on gardens in public spaces such as church grounds, parks and schools: a public name and a description of where the garden is in the space. We hope to develop walking tours and study guides based on these spaces in the future.
