Resilient by Nature: Creating Climate-Resilient Native Habitats

Green Adelaide will help you discover how to create a thriving habitat for Adelaide’s native wildlife right in your own backyard!

This hands-on workshop introduces the key principles of wildlife friendly gardening, helping you discover which local animals are in your area, what they need to thrive, and how to design a space that supports them.

By choosing native plants and a smart design, you aren’t just helping local wildlife - you’re building climate resilience right where you live. Native habitats cope better with harsh summers, use less water, and provide vital cooling islands for local fauna. It’s a win-win for you and nature!

You’ll also get the chance to get your hands dirty! Participants will have the opportunity to plant local species in The Precinct’s garden, gaining practical, real-world planting skills.

What we’ll cover:

An introduction to Adelaide’s native flora and why it matters.

How to identify and protect the wildlife already visiting you.

Practical tips for a nature-rich, climate resilient garden.

Tips about nest boxes and other habitat features.

Simple ways to get started and make an immediate impact.

Come along, get inspired, and transform your backyard into a thriving, resilient haven for local wildlife!

Plus, all participants will take home their own native plant to kickstart their backyard habitat.
