Amanda shares her and her husband’s journey of transforming their small, suburban yard into a vibrant habitat for birds and pollinators. We discuss the various projects they’ve undertaken, the challenges of DIY landscaping, the importance of community support, and the positive reactions from neighbors and family. Their journey shows how creating wildlife habitat can benefit both the environment and the property owners’ well-being. Amanda encourages others to start small, focus on native plants, and seek community support to achieve similar successes.
Today’s guest
Amanda is a mom, medical writer, former biomedical researcher, and nature enthusiast who lives in middle Tennessee on a small, suburban lot. I met Amanda about a year ago when she joined a small group coaching program we were offering in the Backyard Ecology™ Community. She dove right in and continued as community member after the coaching program was done.

Because of this channel, I realized I had Summer Sweet all over the place so I've been moving that to a few other places, one specific place outside the ground floor bedroom window.👍 We also found Jimson Weed and have been removing it. We just created a couple flower sections for bees, dragon flies, etc.
Awesome! Glad you have been finding the content helpful!
