What are the Gardens?

There are nine gardens that are currently completed. A new urban, small-space garden is being planned for completion in 2009. More information will be posted later this year.

Each garden is specifically designed to attract and fill the needs of specific wildlife, or to match the gardening style of the homeowner while still fulfilling the needs of wildlife.

We have a woodland garden, a cottage garden, a manor (formal) garden, and a homestead garden that combines food for people and for wildlife. We also have a garden especially for hummingbirds, one for butterflies, one for local birds that is very low maintenance, and one being completed for hummingbirds and butterflies combined. So whatever your garden style or wildlife attracting goals, we've got a garden set up to inspire you.
