Habitat Gardening
A habitat garden is designed to mimic the natural landscape by providing food and shelter for local wildlife. Urban expansion continues to reduce habitats available to native plants and animals.
A habitat garden can attract many of these birds and animals back into our gardens,
providing safe spaces for them to feed and live.
Why create a habitat garden?
Reverse the decline. Worldwide, natural habitats continue to be lost to human settlement. Help reverse the decline by choosing to garden with local native species.
Save threatened species. Many of our native plants are threatened due to land clearance.
Save water. Native plants use less water than most exotic species. Hobart is the second-driest capital city in Australia.
It’s rewarding. Visits from birds, bandicoots, butterflies and more ... what a treat!
It’s good for the health of the environment – and it’s good for us!
Some great “Habitat” Species can be found here.
It’s downloadable too, if you want to print it for future reference.
Happy habitat gardening!
