Helen's Haven © Helen Yoest
Welcome to the first episode in the series to meet the Team at Beautiful Wildlife Garden.
You may recall that Beautiful Wildlife Garden came about after a discussion between Helen Yoest and I about how nice it would be if we could start a conversation that redefined beautiful. We hoped to help people begin to see that wildlife in the garden, and wildlife gardens themselves, really is beautiful.
Make sure to listen to that interview that put this ball in motion, where Helen interviewed me for the Gardening with Confidence show on Web Talk Radio.
This week I turned the tables on Helen and interviewed her. We chatted about:
- how Helens interest in wildlife gardening began
- the value of certifying your garden for wildlife, butterflies, and native plants
- what is water-wise gardening
- how Helen believes we can engineer a better world

About Carole Sevilla Brown
Thanks for having me Carole! I tripped up on my words tho – I mention my butterfly garden as Transitional/Oasis zones when it is really Transitional/Xeric zones. Forgive me? H.
LOL, Helen you crack me up! Thanks so much for joining me. I’m honored.
