blanshard streetscape
A pathway for pollinators and people
Welcome to the pollinator corridor
The Blanshard Streetscape is a collection of garden planters that line Blanshard Street in the heart of downtown Victoria . The goal of this project is to integrate growing space and natural beauty into Victoria’s urban core. This garden corridor has been re-envisioned and transformed to serve as the hub of FED’s Urban Pollinator Gardens.
​
​By creating this habitat for local bumble bees, mason bees, and butterflies we are forming a pathway to welcome more beneficial insects into our city’s downtown core.
The Corridor:
-
Provides a rare source of food for pollinators, particularly during the dry summer months in the city​
-
Utilizes native species to increase climate resilience
-
Offers and opportunity to connect with nature amidst the bustle of the city
​
This strip of green in our city will grow as we work to transform more underutilized spaces across our city into productive opportunities to support native plants and pollinators.
