As Melbourne’s population and urban landscapes rapidly expand, so to does the need for urban biodiversity support. With a focus on Melbourne’s native flora and fauna and their support requirements, this toolkit provides urban residents with the tools to begin and maintain their own biodiversity support garden through a series of visual documents and garden building exercises.

Through encouraged participation with urban backyard planting initiatives, this garden building toolkit hopes to increase urban resident engagement with essential wildlife species, their support and the increased vibrancy of habitat through wildlife corridors within Melbourne’s evolving urban parameters.
