So, you want to make a garden?
I can help!
My name is Megan Smith, I have been gardening all my life and I am very passionate about creating beautiful habitats that both humans and wildlife can enjoy. For many years I did not have my own garden space so I borrowed space and gardened in pots. But for the last 12 years I’ve had the privilege to work a patch of earth that has become my dream garden both as a space where I can experiment and learn, but also a safe place for wildlife to live. I am a member of the Master Gardeners here in my home county of Yolo and the education I’ve received from this program has only sharpened my keen desire to educate others and help them make their own beautiful garden spaces. I would love to help you create your own wildlife-friendly garden.
“Knowledge generates interest, and interest generates compassion.”

Begin by identifying one major goal you would like to achieve with your garden. One small job at a time, that’s where a beautiful garden begins
