Naturescaping

At Woodward Gardens we strive to make the garden attractive to a wide variety of wildlife.  We provide food, water, shelter and places to raise young.  Some are natural and some are 'artificial'.  Woodward Gardens was named the 400th Schoolyard habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.  We are also a Wildlife Steward School.
