The International Peace Garden has unveiled its flower bed designs for next summer—and this time, the stars of the show are the pollinators. Butterflies, bumblebees, hummingbirds, even the humble caterpillar mid-metamorphosis. Horticulturist Michelle Burnett, working out of Ninga, Manitoba, designed the beds with education and wonder in mind. There’s also a tribute in the works for Frank Skinner, the self-taught plantsman who figured out how to make flowers thrive on the northern plains. It’s shaping up to be a good year at the Garden.
