creating balanced and sustainable
0:03
outdoor environments that support
0:06
biodiversity ecological functions and
0:09
natural processes by designing Gardens
0:12
with consideration for the interactions
0:14
between plants animals soil water and
0:18
microorganisms gardeners can foster
0:20
resilient and thriving ecosystems that
0:23
benefit both people and the

Garden EOS system planning biodiversity
0:33
enhancement select a diverse range of

0:42
Wildlife incorporate flowering plants
0:45
shrubs trees and grasses with different

Bloom times Heights and habitat
0:49
requirements to provide food shelter and
0:51
nesting sites for diverse species native
0:54
plant selection prioritize native plants
0:57
that are adapted to local soil climate
0:59
and environment mental conditions choose
1:01
native species that support local
1:03
Wildlife attract pollinators and
1:06
contribute to the overall ecological
1:07
health of the garden ecosystem habitat
1:10
creation designate areas of the garden
1:13
for wildlife habitat creation such as
1:15
Meadows Wetlands or Wildlife corridors
1:18
incorporate features such as bird houses
1:20
bat boxes insect hotels or brush piles
1:23
to provide nesting roosting and foraging
1:25
opportunities for Native Wildlife Water
1:28
Management implement water-wise
1:30
gardening practices to conserve water
1:32
reduce runoff and support healthy soil
1:35
and plant growth incorporate rain
1:37
Gardens swes or bio swes to capture and
1:40
filter rainwater reducing erosion and
1:42
replenishing groundwater supplies soil
1:45
Health prioritize soil health and
1:47
fertility through organic soil
1:49
amendments composting and mulching
1:51
practices maintain soil structure
1:54
microbial activity and nutrient cycling
1:57
to support plant growth root development
1:59
and water retention in the garden
2:01
ecosystem integrated Pest Management IPM
2:06
adopt IPM strategies to manage pests
2:09
diseases and weeds in the garden without

3:06
of garden ecosystem planning gardeners
3:09
can create vibrant resilient and
3:12
ecologically diverse outdoor spaces that
3:14
support biodiversity conserve resources
3:17
and promote environmental
3:20
sustainability through thoughtful design
3:22
stewardship and ongoing management
3:25
Garden ecosystems become thriving hubs
3:28
of life and beauty that contribute to
