Creating Backyard Wildlife Habitats.
The Botanical Garden is actually a cohesive blend of ten separate, but neighboring, specialty gardens spread over three acres. There is the woodland garden, a cottage garden, a manor (formal) garden, and a homestead garden that combines food for people and for wildlife. Also, a garden especially for hummingbirds, one for butterflies, one for local birds that is very low maintenance, and one for hummingbirds and butterflies combined. So whatever your garden style or wildlife attracting goals, they’ve got a garden set up to inspire you.
NatureScaping is a non-profit, all volunteer, educational organization whose goal is to educate and encourage homeowners to make their yards and gardens a sanctuary for birds and other wildlife (including humans!).
The gardens are open to the public everyday at 11000 NE 149th Street, and are free. There are classes and workshops available, and guided tours for groups.
