Private land and property owners manage around three-quarters of land in our municipality, playing a big role ensuring the city has a healthy ecosystem with thriving biodiversity. The Gardens for Wildlife Melbourne program supports the community in using their gardens and space to provide habitat for local wildlife.
We encourage everyone to create space in their garden for wildlife, providing a habitat with indigenous plants or suitable alternatives. Every space, no matter how small or big, can make an important contribution to nature in our city.
It's been more than five years since Gardens for Wildlife Melbourne commenced, so we’re keen to get your thoughts and feedback. Whether you participated as a gardener, a volunteer Garden Guide, or attended an event, we want to hear from you. Complete the 2025 program review survey now.
