Working Gardens

Community gardens in Burnaby

While they're not part of our public garden and flower displays where visitors are welcome, we like to highlight Burnaby's working gardens. Managed by non-profit community groups, these gardens provide an important service to communities. Local residents have a place to grow food and share their experience and knowledge–all while building a welcoming, safe community.

Pollinator corridors

To help pollinating insects like bees and butterflies flourish, we’re creating new pollinator corridors in the grassy areas next to roads and paths all around the city. We’re sowing the areas with native plants and wildflowers, which develop new habitat for these pollinators to spread across Burnaby and benefit our entire community. We use a different mix of flowers for each corridor, using plants that will be successful in each site’s unique conditions.

The longer grass on these corridors helps soil hold water and stay cooler through the summer, and protect trees from drought. Crews continue to maintain these areas, such as medians and boulevards, to maintain visibility and ensure hydrants and other structures are accessible to emergency services.

You can find pollinator corridors pollinator corridors:

• on medians along Boundary Road
• on medians on Southridge Drive 
• on medians on Griffiths Drive
• along the public staircase at Sperling Avenue and Deer Lake Drive

Pollinator gardens in parks

We’re also creating dedicated pollinator gardens in parks across Burnaby. These vibrant wildflower gardens don’t just attract and host important pollinators (such as mason and leafcutter bees, ladybugs and butterflies/moths)—they’re also designed to attract many various types of insects that are not direct pollinators, but are also beneficial to the ecosystem.

Find pollinator gardens at:

• Burnaby Mountain Park
• McGill Park
• Poplar Park
• Taylor Park
• Willingdon Heights Park
