Gardening for Nature

Got experience gardening with native plants? We want to hear it! Whether you planted a pocket meadow or transformed your whole yard, your story can help others create buzzing, blooming, wildlife-friendly spaces.

This quick North America–wide survey asks what worked, what didn’t, and what surprised you along the way. Share your methods, the resources you used, the critters you spotted, and even how the neighbors reacted.

Thanks for taking a few minutes to jump in! It only takes about 10 minutes, and your insights will help gardeners everywhere build better habitat for pollinators and wildlife. We’ll share a summary—with tips and recommendations—in early 2026 on the Institute for Applied Ecology website.
