Welcome to Part 2 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.
Today I’m chatting with Kelly Senser. Kelly is an editor at the National Wildlife Federation’s National Wildlife Magazine. She is a nature-loving mom who’s passionate about wildlife gardening and outdoor play. Her garden is a Certified Wildlife Habitat, and a wonderful outdoor classroom for her two children.
We discussed:
- How Kelly’s interest in wildlife gardening began
- The Community Wildlife Habitat Garden project, where neighborhoods are banding together to create wildlife gardens that span their neighborhood.
- What you need to do to become a Certified Wildlife Habitat garden
- Simple tips to help you create your wildlife garden

About Carole Sevilla Brown
Wonderful interview Kelly and Carole!
Fun interview! My kids loved “Your Big Backyard” when they were little.
Thanks so much for inviting me to chat, Carole–and for providing such a cheery opening in the form of “Blackberry Blossom.” :0) It was nice to reflect on my wildlife gardening “roots” … and talk about today’s joys with you. Happy day! ~Kelly
Thanks, Helen and Mr. McGregor’s Daughter, it sure was fun!
Kelly it was so wonderful to hear of your wildlife gardening “roots” and the trunks and stems and flowers that have grown since. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
