CREATING A
Backyard Wildlife Habitat

If you are looking for inspiration and guidance in creating a refuge for wildlife in your backyard, then you’re in the right place! This course will teach you how to incorporate native plants into your landscape through site evaluation and how to place the right plant in the right place. We’ll discuss specific trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses and vines, along with how each plant interacts with nature and which wildlife they would support and attract. You’ll learn how to identify invasive species growing on your property. This course is a combination of classroom instruction and observation of native plant installations in the Garden with native plant specialist and landscape designer Beth Farmer.

All programs are subject to change.
