Habitat Heroes
Event description
Are you interested in gardening?
Are you keen to attract native birds and other native wildlife to your garden?
Then why not become a Habitat Hero? Our gardens provide an opportunity to support our unique plants and animals. Many local plants are great choices for landscaping and can be used in any style of garden. In return, your garden can provide a stepping stone for native birds and animals to move safely across our urbanised landscape.
This program is an exciting initiative to help Wyndham residents learn about using locally native (Australian) plants in their gardens and to create a small garden for wildlife. Participants will take part in a workshop to learn how to create a habitat garden, have the opportunity to visit two local gardens in person, receive one-on-one support from a landscape consultant to assist with a garden plan, and receive a selection of FREE indigenous plants to get your garden started.
No experience is necessary to join the program. You just need an interest in gardening and in helping to protect local plants and animals.
