DIY Strategies for Creating a Landscape Full of Life

As the biodiversity crisis deepens, what you do matters. If you are eager to boost the ecological value of your own landscape or a community space, this fast-paced, practical workshop is for you. We’ll look at beginner to advanced strategies and resources for protecting the wildlife on your property; making room for ecologically beneficial plants; choosing the specific plants that your local caterpillars, native bees, and birds require for survival; procuring plants on a budget; and designing and caring for attractive plantings with wildlife in mind, all while ensuring community acceptance for a more natural landscape. Along with a detailed handout, you’ll come away inspired and empowered to fill your landscape with life.
