Creating a Wildlife Pond—Water Gardening for Toads, Dragonflies and more! 

Water is vital to wildlife in our gardens. Learn how to create a simple and beautiful wildlife pond to support toads, dragonflies, frogs, birds, mammals, and water-loving invertebrates. Michelle will present her favorite native plants best suited for in-pond life as well as plants for moist areas around the pond or elsewhere in the landscape. Dive in for more diversity in your space!  

Michelle is a wildlife gardener, ecological landscape consultant, planting designer, and naturalist educator in the Pennsylvania Piedmont. She recently brought the Pollinator Pathway Northeast to Lower Merion and Narberth and volunteers through the Pennsylvania Master Naturalist program. She advises customers at Redbud Native Plant Nursery in Media, PA and owns her own business, Wild About Native Plants which specializes in helping property owners and public space stewards create resilient and wildlife-friendly landscapes by incorporating native plants.
