Design Your Wildlife Habitat: A Hands-on Workshop

Ready to turn your outdoor space into a thriving wildlife habitat? Develop your vision for an ecological landscape that boosts biodiversity around your home and fits into your neighborhood. Discover resources to help you design a layered garden filled with native plants that offer food, shelter, and nesting sites for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife. You’ll also learn efficient, wildlife‑friendly care practices and ecological design strategies that welcome wild visitors and inspire community appreciation for natural beauty. With a detailed handout and practical guidance, you’ll leave with the tools and confidence to bring your landscape to life.

Sarah F. Jayne is an environmentalist, educator, and wildlife advocate who has gardened for over 45 years from California to the East Coast. Her book Nature's Action Guide: How to Support Biodiversity and Your Local Ecosystem is a companion to Doug Tallamy's Nature's Best Hope and features 15 urgent actions to support biodiversity. Sarah’s work has been featured in The Joe Gardener Show, A Way to Garden podcast, Homegrown National Park, and the New York Times.
