Welcome

NatureScaping of Southwest Washington is an all volunteer Not-For-Profit 501(c)(3) Organization whose goal is to educate and encourage homeowners to make their yards & gardens attractive to birds and other wildlife.

The Wildlife Botanical Gardens are a blend of specialty gardens. Spread over three acres, the Gardens are devoted to demonstrating and teaching gardening concepts which attract birds, butterflies, hummingbirds and other wildlife to residential gardens. Extensive urban growth over the last few decades has had a significant impact on habitat that birds and other wildlife once called home.

You, as a homeowner, have a unique opportunity to curtail this loss of habitat by creating your own backyard wildlife sanctuary. Use our gardens as a model for planning your own yard or garden.

The Wildlife Botanical Gardens serve as a showcase for plants attractive to birds and wildlife, and to demonstrate landscaping for creating wildlife habitat.

The FLYING FLOWERS Garden, our ninth, is almost finished. Designed by Circadian Consulting & Design LLC, this garden encourages education, appreciation, and conservation of native Northwest butterflies and hummingbirds. Featuring over 35 different plants attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, this garden is planned to eventually have a covered area and terrace for the public, and a water feature for the butterflies and hummingbirds. A generous grant from the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon will provide plant labels and a drip irrigation system, both scheduled to be completed during 2008.

Come visit the Botanical Garden during these lazy days of summer. Enjoy the beauty of all our gardens in full bloom!
