Wildscaping Your Garden We will tell you how
As the cities are expanding and getting smarter, the natural spaces are
shrinking and becoming fewer, we urban denizens yet could create spaces for
wildlife to thrive into our small and big gardens. Interestingly metros and
cities of India still host a wide range of wildlife that has mastered the
art of living with us. Probably with some more help, we could retain the
balance between our world and natural world.
Our online course on Gardening for Wildlife has been designed on this
premise with focus on Birds, Bees and Butterflies.

*Testimonial of Course Participant *
I am an Architect by profession have passion for wildlife, its conservation
and avid interest in photography. I was informed and explained in detail
about the usefulness of this course by my Wildlifer friend and Mentor Vikas
Mahajan . After joining this course I realised and experienced that a patch
of green that attracts wildlife can make a huge difference to counter the
hostile effects of urban development in this concrete jungle. After joining
this course I got detailed information on plants , various installations
and a systematic planned approach to attract wildlife in the garden . While
working on various assignments such as making a bird feeder , a bird nest
etc I got ideas to put to good use and create innovative installation s
from waste/ unused/ extra material on the construction sites . It gives
immense joy to see and experience nature closely when you see a squirrel
clambering through the trees , Sunbirds , tailorbirds chirping and actively
foraging for food on various trees shrubs and colourful butterflies making
the place come alive . Henceforth I shall definitely and consciously have a
green patch or a wildlife garden ( as the space permits) in all my
architectural projects . I am thankful to Dr. Shubha for coming up with
such useful course .
