Backyard Biodiversity Project 2024

The Backyard Biodiversity Project aims to develop your knowledge in habitat gardening. 

You'll receive a voucher for indigenous plants and professional landscape advice to assist in improving your own garden for our local wildlife (optional visit to your garden). We will be running the sessions in person at various locations outlined below.

If you can commit to these sessions, then we invite you to join us to learn how to create an inviting habitat for native birds and wildlife in your backyard.

By participating in the Backyard Biodiversity program, you'll:

• learn how to turn your garden into a safe haven for animals, including birds

• receive landscape gardening advice from a landscape designer

• receive a voucher for free native plants.

Residents from across Boroondara can participate. 

Places in this free and award-winning program are limited therefore registrations are essential. 

The 2024 Backyard Biodiversity Project event starts in early May and runs over 5 weeks. 

Registrations are now open. They close on Sunday 21 April unless booked out prior.
