An exhibition to promote the Urban Wildlife Gardens programme will be on display at the Cooroy Library during March and will move to the Noosaville Library in April.
Fabric sculptures by Stephanie Haslam (author of local field guide Noosa’s native plants) were inspired by creatures that visit her small urban garden. Covid restrictions provided plenty of time to enjoy the garden and experiment with needle and thread.
The exhibition with the theme, What’s in your garden?, prompts urban gardeners to find out more about the natural environment where they live.
The UWG program is funded by Noosa Council and managed by the Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA). This community engagement program provides a resource and service for urban landowners wishing to create native gardens that will increase biodiversity values on their property, promoting enjoyment, awareness and opportunities for citizen science monitoring.
