About the Webinar

Designing with native plants isn’t just about what you grow, it’s about how you shape your space. In this hands-on workshop, Zoe Evans (Plan it Wild) and Heather Evans (Design Your Wild) guide you through the process of creating a cohesive yard plan that supports both your lifestyle and biodiversity. 


You'll learn:

  • Why layout matters as much as plant choice. 
  • How paths, destinations, and enclosure create restorative outdoor spaces. 
  • Ways to integrate trees and shrubs for privacy, structure, and habitat. 
  • A step-by-step method to sketch your first draft layout and connect it to a larger vision. 


Participants will sketch along, reflect through guided prompts, and come away with a draft plan they can refine over time. Whether you’re just starting or already transforming your whole yard, this webinar provides the tools to create a design that works for both people and wildlife.


This webinar has been pre-recorded and co-presented with Wild Ones of Wisconsin. You can learn more about Wild Ones here: wildones.org


Registration closes after Thursday, January 15.
