Gardens in urban and suburban areas can make critical contributions to the health of wildlife and humans. This session will discuss how you can maximize that potential. Restoring small land parcels can provide stepping-stone habitats that allow wildlife to move across fragmented urban landscapes. Learn methods of replicating nature’s processes to restore water and nutrient cycles and diversify the vegetation of our urban landscapes to increase garden and community resilience.
