Discover how to turn your garden into a living ecosystem that supports birds, butterflies, bees and beneficial insects.

In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn proven habitat gardening techniques using native plants and simple design strategies. We’ll explore how to provide the four essentials for wildlife: food, water, shelter and nesting sites, and look at real-life examples of backyard biodiversity in action.

You’ll also have time to begin designing habitat zones for your own yard, with guidance from our educators.

What you’ll learn:

How to attract native birds, butterflies and beneficial insects
Choosing the right native plants for your space
Creating habitat through layering, water sources and shelter
Simple design strategies for real backyards
How small changes can make a big ecological impact

Who this is for:
Home gardeners, educators, renters, families, community members — anyone who wants to support nature at home.

Please bring:
A satellite image of your yard (printed or on a tablet/phone) so you can map out your design ideas during the workshop.
