Beyond Plant Lists: Creating Year-Round, Robust Habitat for Wildlife in Home Gardens (RECORDING) | Nov. 2, 2023
1.25 Hrs Virtual | Shaun McCoshum, PhD
Creating wildlife habitat in gardens is most often described with plant lists, especially for birds and pollinators. Plants however, mostly feed wildlife and do not provide the appropriate places to shelter, reproduce, hydrate, and overwinter. Join us to learn more about creating beautiful gardens with plants and non-flower resources like logs, stones, and diverse soils. Shaun will also discuss how to incorporate selective ecological disturbances into annual garden maintenance, a very important habitat element that is often overlooked.
