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

Burnaby is partnering with the City of Vancouver to seed a number of medians on Boundary Road with wildflowers and less-frequently mowed grasses. Once grown in, this corridor will be a continuous pollinator-friendly route for bees and butterflies from the Fraser River to Burrard Inlet. This pollinator corridor will help to combat the loss of biodiversity in our community by providing a habitat for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, expanding their range through our City and helping to keep our parks, gardens, and natural spaces healthy and beautiful. Longer grasses help soil hold water and stay cooler through the summer, and protect trees from drought. Our crews will continue to maintain the medians, trimming important areas to maintain visibility for road traffic, and ensuring hydrants and other structures are easily accessible by emergency services. The flower species on our pollinator corridors include: 

• Clarkia amoena (also called farewell-to-spring or godetia)
• Coreopsis tinctoria (also called plains coreopsis or calliopsis)
• Linaria maroccana (also called annual toadflax)
• Nemophila maculata (also called fivespot)
