Welcome to Part 3 of 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 are 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.

About Carole Sevilla Brown
Carole,
Thank you so much for this interview! I had such a great time speaking with you on all of the issues we find are important to wildlife gardening, our ecosytems and nature. I’m so happy to be a part of the Wildlife Garden team. I think you’re doing an amazing job of getting the word out to people about what we can do to make our yards a better place.

Kathy, it was such a pleasure to chat with you and hear about your “big” wildlife in your Colorado garden! Thanks so much for sharing your wildlife gardening tips with us.
I have found my way home with this blog! I incorporate many of the suggestions provided in the conversation. Wild Ones Niagara, a local chapter in western New York (www.wildonesniagara), is part of a national non-profit, Wild Ones, that advocates native plant communities. I would love to bring you ladies to Niagara Falls for a native plant conference. Keep up the great work.

Michelle, Welcome Home!
And we’d be thrilled to come to Niagara Falls. Just let us know when
Gardening in the high desert has me fascinated, I can only imagine having a bear or coyote wander through our yard! Amazing! Wonderful tips and hints for starting a new garden,too. Build a new garden, don’t till one!
The high desert is fascinating to me, too. I had a preconceived notion that deserts were flat with very little vegetation, but there’s mountains and all kinds of amazing growing things, and so many new things to experience.
Hi Carole, Congratulations on your new group. I look forward to your posts. I am going to visit Kathy’s blog now. ;>)
