Our Process For Creating A Wildlife Garden.
Designing and establishing a habitat garden involves several key steps to ensure that the landscape not only enhances biodiversity but also provides essential habitat for local wildlife. Here’s an outline of our process:
01
Initial Consultation
Our landscape designer will meet with you for a garden consultation to discuss your goals, preferences, and budget for your wildlife garden. They will conduct a site assessment to evaluate existing conditions, including soil type, sunlight exposure, and drainage patterns.
It is at this stage we will identify any specific wildlife species that you wish to attract or support in the garden.
02
Firstly we analyse your property’s ecological context, considering factors such as nearby natural habitats, wildlife corridors, and existing flora and fauna. Next we develop a comprehensive plan that integrates habitat features, such as birdhouses, bat boxes, insect hotels, and wildlife corridors. Appropriate native plant species based on the conditions and the needs of target wildlife species are then selected to ensure this is the best garden for wildlife.Â
Initial Consultation Site Analysis and Planning
03
We design and place habitat features strategically throughout the garden to maximise their effectiveness and appeal to target native wildlife. Elements such as water features, rocks, logs, and native plants are incorporated to provide food, shelter, nesting sites, and breeding habitat for wildlife.
Habitat Feature Design
04
A diverse mix of native plants that offer food, shelter, and habitat for local wildlife, including bird-attracting, butterfly-attracting, and bee-attracting plants are chosen. Indigenous plants are then installed according to the design plan, considering spacing, arrangement, and soil preparation to promote healthy growth and establishment.
Plant Selection and Installation
05
Habitat enhancement measures are implemented, such as creating wildlife corridors, connecting habitat patches, and providing supplemental food and water sources. We encourage the installation of ponds, bird baths, and butterfly puddling stations to attract and support wildlife throughout the garden whilst also being a beautiful garden feature.
Habitat Creation and Enhancement
06
We work with you to establish a gardening services maintenance plan to care for your habitat garden, including watering, weeding, pruning, and mulching as needed. It is important to monitor the garden regularly to assess plant health, wildlife activity, and overall ecosystem function. Adjustments are made to the garden design or management practices as necessary to optimise habitat value and support biodiversity over time.
