Learn how to transform your backyard into a miniature wildlife refuge, attracting many different kinds of wild animals.

To be a wildlife haven, your yard must provide for animals' basic needs: cover, water and food. We'll uncover the keys to success: providing all of these elements in a suitable arrangement.

Our eight acres of curated Gardens are cared for by some of the best in the business, and now they're sharing their secrets and tips with YOU! Learn the joys and rewards of Mojave Desert gardening. We repeat each Saturday gardens workshop on Sunday, so attend on the day that's best for you.
