Description
About the Webinar
Are you interested in adding water features to your garden to attract birds, frogs, and salamanders? How about creating mini-habitats such as bogs or sunken gardens to cultivate moisture-loving plants like cardinal flowers, marsh marigolds, or native pitcher plants? Alternatively, you might want to explore larger features like water gardens and vernal pools. With over a decade of experience, Laura Jackson has been designing and maintaining various water features in her garden, experimenting with different sizes and types of habitats. She will provide guidance on creating your own bog garden, vernal pool, and other water features, enabling you to enjoy the wildlife they bring and the exquisite flowers associated with these environments.
