About the pollinator habitat projects

Two volunteer-led pollinator projects are underway at Eastview park that aim to create habitat for pollinators.

Remediate Pollinator Garden

  • The ReMediate project is a collaborative textile and audio installation at the Eastview Landfill site.
  • It was created by volunteers with Pollination Guelph including local artists, Christina Kingsbury and Anna Bowen, and is maintained entirely by volunteers.
  • It features a quilt, hand-made from recycled paper embedded with native pollinator-friendly seeds, the pieces of which were sewn together on-site by Christina and public participants.
  • Anna Bowen produced a series of poetry vignettes inspired by the history of the site and the making of the quilt.
  • As the seed quilt breaks down pollinator friendly plants grow in the different patches of the garden providing pollinator habitat and a garden space open to everyone.

Pollinator Park Restoration Project

  • Pollination Guelph is leading a long-term, multi-stage project to seed native pollinator friendly plants on the decommissioned Eastview Landfill site.
  • The goal is to create a large expanse of habitat for a variety of pollinators and birds.
