The Friends of the Bees of Canada is thrilled to invite you to a Sunflower Spectacular on 05/25/2024 from 12PM-3PM, dedicated to raising awareness about bee-friendly gardening practices. It’s a day where we come together to celebrate bees, nature, and the power of community in making a difference.
Tee’s Plants has donated cups of baby sunflowers for you to take and plant for free, limited quantity, 1 per household please.
Sunflower Seed Gift
Kickstart your bee-friendly garden with our free sunflower seed packets! These seeds are easy to plant and grow, making them perfect for gardeners of all levels. We have hand selected 3 blends consisting of 6 varieties for this year: Tall, Queen Branching Blend, and Autumn Blend! Limited availability, included with any order, first come first serve!
Community Planting
Be part of our community planting initiative! Help us by planting the sunflower seeds, as well as your annuals, perennials, and other native plants at your property to beautify the community and provide essential resources for bees. Bonus points if you can see them from the street for your neighbors to admire.
Other Beneficials
Celebrate the bees by learning more about native and beneficial plants for the bees. Tee’s Plants doesn’t use pesticides, herbicides, or growth regulators and offers a full set of garden plants to help your insects. Many other large greenhouses have started to pre-treat vegetable starts and flowers with sprays to optimize profits, which does not benefit our flying friends. Not at Tee’s.
Don’t forget these friends which are also available for your viewing:
Swamp Milkweed (Monarch host)
Butterfly Milkweed
Dwarf Lavender
Marigolds (several varieties and colours)
Alyssum
Herbs
and many more.
Community Garden Alliance
Tee’s Plants aims to donate more plants to community gardens in our community than in 2023!
As you know, starting a garden can be quite expensive. Tee’s Plants can help mitigate the cost of the plant part.

Free Orange Marigold
Marigolds bloom throughout the entire summer until frost, and serve as an excellent beacon for pollinators to find your garden.
Celebrating the 2024 color of the year (Orange) selected for Chatham-Kent gardens, Tee’s Plants wants to give you a Super Hero Orange F1 Marigold to compliment your garden for free when you purchase $25 or more of garden starts. Super Hero Orange is a very compact and uniform orange marigold which will go great in a pot by itself, or planted as a companion into your garden beds. It flowers very early, and blooms until late October and even early November. Plant it in a sunny visible location and show off your festive side to your neighbors!
Make sure to check the availability list for more Orange varieties.
