The Creston Nectar Network is a community-led project by Wildsight Creston Valley Branch that encourages participants to plant small patches of native wildflowers. These plantings act as “stepping stones” of habitat that help pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds move through the landscape. By connecting these patches across the valley, the project supports biodiversity, improves ecosystem health, and builds a stronger culture of environmental stewardship through collective community action.
Welcome to the Creston Nectar Network! We are a community-led initiative by Wildsight Creston Valley Branch to create a connected network of native wildflower habitat across the valley. By planting small patches, you’re helping support pollinators, strengthen biodiversity, and build a more resilient ecosystem.
We can encourage you to pre-order your plants here: https://secure.wildsight.ca/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=742
Each presale package includes:
- 7 native pollinator plants: Woolly Sunflower, Clarkia, Threadleaf Phacelia, Coreopsis, Gaillardia, Pearly Everlasting and Yellow Penstemon
- A Pollinator Pal lawn sign
- Reserved seating at our summer Pollinator Picnic! a celebration featuring guest speakers, native plant experts and community connection
- A Digital Pollinator Kit, including: Pollinator monitoring sheet, Plant guide with descriptions and photos, Planting guide with site selection, preparation, and care tips
Plants will be ready for pickup around May 23, with a confirmation email (including date and time) coming in early May.
We encourage you to chat with your neighbours about planting too – especially if you’re located between Spectrum Farms and Schikurski Park. Creating clusters of habitat helps improve pollinator connectivity across the landscape.
Pollinators don’t follow straight lines, they move toward food. Together, these small planting “stepping stones” can make a big impact.
Thank you for being part of this growing network! If you have any questions please contact Rebecca creston@wildsight.ca
