The City's Landscape Services has been working toward developing and implementing a horticultural brand identity for Coquitlam and increasing service standards for both gardens and lawn areas. This is evident from our vibrant parks and public gardens to enhanced streetscapes, unique public art installations and destination sports fields.
Protect Our Pollinators!
Coquitlam in Bloom / Landscape
Coquitlam is raising awareness this year about the importance of planting gardens designed to attract and sustain pollinators—such as bees and hummingbirds. Members of the community were encouraged to take part in planting events and learn about how they can plant their own pollinator garden.

City Pollinator Gardens
Youth Engagement
Community Events
Gardeners planted pollinator plants throughout City gardens with signage to educate the public.
Youth Week at the Inspiration Garden included taking part in a pollinator planting and the awareness street team giving out free pollinator seeds to the public around Lafarge Lake.
The theme made for a fun bee hive float at the Teddy Bear Grande Parade, with seed package giveaways and on Canada Day we raised awareness with an interactive display booth.
Park Blitz
Pollinator Hotels
Coquitlam's Park Spark team raised awareness by hosting Pollinator Parties at a number of Coquitlam parks.
Large pollinator hotels are installed in local parks and cared for by community members providing homes for all types of pollinators.
Pollinator FAQs Fun pollinator facts were also added to signage, containing information about the volunteer groups, the City’s Bad Seed campaign, and interesting facts about each park.
