Creating Backyard Wildlife Habits

Natural wildlife habitat has been altered and eliminated locally and on a global scale by human activity. Species dependent on that habitat such as birds, butterflies, and other wildlife are pushed into ever-shrinking wilderness areas at great detriment to their future sustainability. With some small landscape modifications, you can make a difference. You can invite wildlife back to your own yard and local area by creating a habitat with a combination of food, water, shelter, and space arranged to meet the needs of wildlife. Imagine your yard teeming with beautiful flowers, singing songbirds, colorful butterflies, flitting hummingbirds, and other small wildlife. Online.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person owning a needle and thread is often in want of a craft. Explore the historical style of hand embroidery from England’s Regency era in the 1800’s in this class. Students will design their own floral patterns and explore taking the style in modern directions. Final projects may be in finished hoops or the object of the student’s choice. A basic embroidery kit is included in the cost of the course.
