is much easier to predict and understand.

of what your property will sell for in today’s market. Also, if you've got your eye and heart set
on a specific area, we can let you know what properties are selling for in that neighbourhood and the
current properties available.

Nurseries and Plant Retailers That Sell Neonic-free Plants Compliments of The Saunders Tremblay Realty Team Garden
Buzz! Save
our Precious Pollinators! Thinking
Spring and Spring garden? Before you buy that ravishing ranunculus, perfect pansy, or heavenly herb, know your
poison! That showy bloom in your cart might be a death knell for the bees and butterflies in your
garden. Pesticides
are wiping out Canada’s pollinator species. This gardening season, make a wise and informed choice and buy
from local retailers that sell neonic-free plants. Think
of neonicotinoids as cancer that runs amok in a plant. A systemic pesticide, neonics spread through
the entire plant, contaminating the
pollen and nectar.
Toxic cocktails for our precious pollinators. Even minute concentrations of neonics can bump off bumblebees,
butterflies, solitary bees, and honey bees. Here’s
a quick primer on neonics. So,
read the label carefully and buy plants and seeds that are untreated and free of neonicotinoids. Listed here are
local Kitchener-Waterloo nurseries and plant retailers, rated from best of the bunch to the absolutely
awful. Read more... Good
(local) news!
