Naturescaping

At Woodward Gardens we strive to make the garden attractive to a wide variety of wildlife.  We provide food, water, shelter and places to raise young.  Some are natural and some are 'artificial'.  Woodward Gardens was named the 400th Schoolyard habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.  We are also a Wildlife Steward School.

Food

Feeders provide food for our feathered friends.	Perennials provide nectar for many native butterfly species.

Water

While there is a wetland as part of the Woodward Gardens, we do provide additional sources for water including a solar fountain.	Our wetlands and year-round stream provide water and habitat for many animals including a native species of lamprey.

Shelter

In the background you will notice a brush pile which provides shelter for many of Woodward Gardens inhabitants.	Many large trees and shrubs provide natural shelter.

Place to Raise Young

Mason bees, bats and birds have no problem finding homes here.	Nor does the occasional squirrel. If you are looking for natural garden tips, click here.
