We all want to make a difference in some way.<\/h2>\n

But when you think about it, we are.<\/p>\n

Every single choice we make has an impact, for better or for worse, including in the garden. When you add up all the positive actions of gardeners (anyone with some outdoor space to tend) you can see that what you do matters, no matter how small the effort. It\u2019s time we realize that together our everyday actions can truly be a powerful force for good. But how do we make this positive difference? What are the steps needed to support our wild neighbours?<\/p>\n

By the end of the Gardening for Wildlife course, you\u2019ll come away with an appreciation of how important wildlife is to our well-being and how our daily choices can impact them. You will also have a clear understanding of the basic elements needed in a wildlife-friendly garden<\/a> and various ways to apply them to your own property.

Last but not least you\u2019ll get a tour of a Canadian Wildlife Federation’s \u201cWildlife-friendly Habitat\u201d certified garden to learn how and why that family switched their efforts from purely ornamental to a garden with a purpose \u2013 and the wonderful results that followed.<\/p>\n
