A site for Woodland/Wildlife Gardeners & those who love to Photograph them

Ferns & Feathers is not your average gardening website. If a natural garden means more to you than pretty flowers and you have always had a soft spot for wildlife, then this Woodland/Wildlife Gardening website is meant for you.

My focus is on native plants, trees and shrubs that provide food and habitat for wildlife. Below, you’ll find featured posts on gardening, attracting birds and other wildlife and finally, we’ll focus on backyard garden and wildlife photography.

Why should you spend time on this site? Because a garden without wildlife is just a stage set.

Woodland/Wildlife gardening has been a labour of love for me for more than 20 years. Like all gardens, mine continues to be a work in progress and, like the garden, all are welcome here. Please, join me on my journey.

I am greatly honoured to be the recipient of the Ontario Nature Media and Conservation Award for the work done on Ferns & Feathers and the accompanying newsletter, Naturally Native. Ontario Nature is an outstanding organization that is working hard to protect the environment in our province and one that deserves our complete support.
