Gardening for wildlife requires different approaches and strategies \u2014 even a different mind-set! \u2014 from regular gardening. This talk addresses the characteristics of plants and garden design that will help you create a wildlife-friendly garden, strategies for including food, shelter, and water, and practices that will encourage birds and beneficial insects to make their home in your garden. Resources specific to the Ottawa area are discussed. Rebecca concludes with a brief overview of the process for certifying your garden as wildlife habitat, or as a monarch way-station, and encourage the audience to consider joining the growing army of Citizen Scientists who are helping us better understand how people are changing the natural world.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"u-center-text\">\n\t<p>\n\t\t<a class=\"button__red button__red--solid\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthy-workplace\/gardening-speaker-series-2025\/\" target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Register Here<\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Future Meetings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>August 7, 12:00 \u2013 1:00PM:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Climate Change &amp; Your Garden with Rebecca Last-Guenette<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presented by\u00a0Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton (MGOC), this speaker series is the perfect opportunity for members of Carleton\u2019s faculty &amp; staff community to learn from a local Master Gardener, acquire new gardening skills and knowledge, and connect with fellow gardeners across campus.
