Peterborough had a smart promotion.
An inexpensive way to promote gardens in the city,
by giving out "Peterborough Pollinator Garden" signs.


For Canada's 150th birthday,
the city gave out 150+ signs and calendars to houses
that registered their pollinator garden.
And many gardens were still proudly displaying their signs this year.
