Tee’s Plants proudly partners with Friends of the Bees (FOTB.ca) to support local garden projects that enhance pollinator habitats and promote environmental sustainability. Through this partnership, Tee’s Plants provides funding, supplies, and a diverse selection of pollinator-friendly plants to help create thriving gardens that benefit bees and other vital pollinators. By combining resources and expertise, Tee’s Plants and FOTB empower communities to cultivate beautiful, biodiverse spaces while raising awareness about the importance of pollinator conservation. This collaboration ensures that local gardens not only flourish but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable environment for all.
Tee’s Plants will announce 2026 projects soon, but you can still expect a packet of Tee’s Plants sunflower seeds for your garden!
Free Plants
Tee’s Plants is proud to support pollinator conservation by donating a Friends of the Bees certified plant to your garden with every purchase of $25 or more. These specially selected plants provide vital food and habitat for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, helping to create a thriving, sustainable environment. Together, we can make a meaningful impact, one garden at a time!
Community Planting
Be part of our community planting initiative, and become a true friend of the bees! Help us by planting 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. Make an extra effort so your neighbors can see, to help encourage them to start a garden of their own!
Other Beneficial Plants
Celebrate the bees by learning more about the native and beneficial plants that they love. 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.
Don’t forget these plants which are also available for your viewing:
Swamp Milkweed (Monarch host)
Butterfly Milkweed
Lavender
Marigolds (several varieties and colours)
Alyssum
Herbs, and more!
Community Garden Alliance
Tee’s Plants aims to donate more plants to community gardens within our region during the 2026 garden season!
Thanks so much for looking into the Community Garden Alliance, a partnership between Tee’s Plants and the Friends of the Bees of Canada (fotb.ca).
I’m excited to partner with new organizations every year to provide free plants and seeds to help fill their gardens. To date, this program has introduced thousands of perennials, annuals, vegetables, and herbs into gardens like yours in Chatham-Kent and beyond! Thanks for your help!
As you know, starting a garden can be quite expensive. Tee’s Plants can help mitigate the cost of the plant part, making it that much easier for you and your organization.

We plant extras for the wildlife, of all kinds, and we make sure to keep them safe by not spraying pesticides, herbicides, or growth regulators!
Please note that community spots are limited and filled quite early so that we can ensure we get the right plants started for your community garden on-time.
