Support birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife with your garden! In addition to growing food and flowers for yourself and your human community, your garden can also provide valuable habitat for beneficial creatures in our urban landscape.

In this class, we’ll discuss:

  • Key habitat elements present in healthy ecosystems and how to incorporate them into your garden space
  • Common creatures you can support in soil, on land and in the air
  • Strategies for maintaining and building habitat over time

Class will include a conversational lecture and a garden tour – participants will leave with a set of comprehensive resources for continued learning and seeds to plant in their own garden. Class size is limited to about 15 participants, and we will be following current public health recommendations.
