Conservation can start in your own backyard, turn your garden into an ecological refuge!

Create beautiful native gardens that help to reconnect our fragmented landscape and provide much needed habitat for local wildlife.

This presentation covers the fundamentals of habitat gardening with a focus on what specific native plants attract local wildlife to your garden.

Learn about the different types of food and shelter that local native plants can provide and other important elements to consider.

Birds + insects + lizards + more.

Leave with the confidence and know how to create your own habitat garden at home.

Interested in creating habitat on your verge? We’ll have 15 minutes at the end of the session to chat all things verges (and help you sketch out a quick verge plan).
