Gardening for Wildlife

Incorporating native plants into the landscape is an essential way to provide food, habitat and connectivity for wildlife. In this presentation, Seana Cullinan will share stories and show examples of all the ways in which we can create dynamic, and resilient gardens while supporting the life cycles of pollinators, amphibians, birds and  more.

Seana Cullinan has been studying horticulture and working as a landscape designer & contractor for the past 20 years. In 2012, she received her Master’s Degree in Sustainable Landscape Planning and Design from the Conway School in Northampton, MA. She moved to Maine in 2013 and opened Larkspur Design an ecological landscape design firm, based in Portland.

Designing and installing gardens combines all of her favorite things- creating beautiful spaces for humans to enjoy while enhancing the ecological health of local ecosystems. She envisions that each garden that her team designs will become part of a growing network of habitat gardens which will weave its way through Southern Maine and beyond, providing food, cover, and connectivity for the insects, birds, and animals of New England.
