DOWNTOWN ORILLIA NOW HAS TWO NATIVE PLANT GARDENS!​

The Streets Alive summer 2024 project is ‘Pollinator Friendly’!

First, 60 wooden flowers were cut and prepared by The Northern Joinery.

Local artists then chose a native wildflower species to paint on the flowers, which are now on display on the street poles downtown!

Additionally, we were given permission to transform two of the downtown planter boxes with native wildflowers! Despite the rain, this crew came out on Sunday morning and got all the planting done. Thanks to everyone who participated, and to Scott’s Garden Centre and Parklane Landscapes for the plant donations. We are working on educational signage to be displayed above the planter and will share more info through our socials throughout the summer.
