Join The Groundswell Collective for a hands-on Seed Library Workshop and Packing Session at Toronto Community Hub as part of the Seeds of Resilience monthly program.
This session features guest presenter Kelly Lees, a Qualified Bee Educator, who will focus on how to encourage and support native bees in home veggie patches and gardens.
Native bees are vital pollinators for food crops and local ecosystems. Kelly will share practical, accessible ways to make your garden bee-friendly, even in small urban spaces.
Featured focus: Creating Habitat & Food for Native Bees
Kelly will cover:
* The role native bees play in pollination and food production
* Common native bees you might already have in your garden
* The best plants to support bees year-round
* Simple habitat ideas for veggie patches, balconies and backyards
Kelly Lee is a passionate bee educator dedicated to helping communities understand and protect Australia’s diverse bee species.
Alongside the workshop, participants will help pack and label seeds for the Lake Mac Seed Library, supporting biodiversity, local food security and community sharing.
☕ A relaxed, social morning — conversation and curiosity encouraged.

With thanks to Australia Post for supporting community wellbeing and seed sharing initiatives.
