Dreaming of a buzzing, bursting, and blooming pocket-wilderness right outside your window? Ready to invite butterflies, native bees, and twinkling summer fireflies to move into your neighborhood?
Whether you have a sprawling backyard or just an awkward, forgotten "hell strip" between the sidewalk and the street, fall is nature’s secret weapon for building the wild garden of your dreams!
In this cozy virtual program, we’ll dive into the magic, math, and mystery of transforming lawn into living habitat.
Together, we’ll explore:
Goodbye, Green Desert: Clever (and satisfying!) methods for turf removal
Taming the Hell Strip: Turning those tricky, neglected sidewalk patches into vibrant wildlife corridors
Planting vs. Winter Seeding: Tuck small native plants directly into autumn’s warm soil or let winter handle the magic with cold-stratified seeding
The "Why" Behind the Wild: How small, intentional yards act as essential oases for local birds, pollinators, and the broader web of life
Whether you’re aiming to transform a tiny garden bed or build your very own home-grown national park, this session will give you the tools, inspiration, and confidence to get growing.
Details: A virtual link will be sent prior to class so use a working email. Grab your emotional support liquids, bring your big backyard dreams, and let’s grow something wild together.
