Gardeners have a vital role to play in supporting native wildlife. This talk will highlight the importance of native plant gardening, habitat connectivity, and thoughtful garden design in creating meaningful habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. Attendees will learn practical, garden-scale strategies to support biodiversity, strengthen ecosystem health, and build more resilient gardens. The presentation will also introduce attendees to WWF-Canada's re:grow and In the Zone programs and how they support gardeners in taking action. Attendees will learn how individual efforts fit into broader conservation work and how gardeners can access tools and resources to contribute to collective conservation efforts in the Carolinian Zone and across Canada.
