Here are a few resources to help you quickly transform your backyard into a bird and wildlife friendly habitat!

Calscape has a Bay Area Garden Planner which gives you a personalized list of plants for your area after just four questions. You can buy the plants individually or in kits.

Start Planning

We recommend planting plants that are native to your area. A backyard with 70% or more native plants can do so much! Here are some of the benefits:

  • Native plant gardens support native birds and wildlife
  • Native plant gardens save water
  • Native plant gardens are more resilient to climate extremes
  • Native plants are beautiful
