Native Plants at Home: Build Your Own Backyard Eco-Garden

What if “the outdoors” didn’t start miles away on a trail—but right outside your door? The way we care for even the smallest yard, garden, or container can shape the health of entire ecosystems. Join us for an inspiring, beginner-friendly session that reimagines your home landscape as a powerful tool for conservation. We’ll share how native plants and ecological gardening can transform everyday spaces into thriving habitats. See what’s possible when intention meets ecology. Learn how native plants are uniquely adapted to soils and seasons, how they support pollinators and wildlife, and how small changes in your space can connect to something much bigger. You’ll walk away with practical, approachable ways to get started wherever you live—whether that’s a city balcony, suburban yard, or rural property—and a fresh perspective on stewardship that begins at home.
