Garden Guides

Garden Guides are local volunteers for our Gardens for Wildlife program.

The guides have a love for gardens and increasing indigenous plantings and other features to support local native wildlife.

They visit residential gardens to have a chat with property owners about their garden and provide some advice and opinion about how they can create a habitat garden. 

Following the visit, residents receive a garden report to support residents with the next steps required to create their indigenous garden.
