What’s all the BUZZ about Ecological Gardening?
Through choosing to nurture native plants in our spaces, we create valuable habitat for dwindling wildlife populations and build beautiful “outdoor rooms” that:
- Support Human Health & Well-being
- Create a Sense of Place & Educational Opportunities
- Improve Air Quality and Capture Carbon
- Enhance Water Quality to Support the Chesapeake Bay
- Increase Pollination Services for Food Crops
MISSION:
THE MISSION OF WAXWING ECOWORKS CO. is to rebuild biodiversity in human spaces, by providing hands-on ecological gardening experiences for all ages.
CORE VALUES:
Waxwing EcoWorks Co. achieves this mission by focusing on 3 core values;
Collaboration: Humans are positive drivers to ecological restoration. When working collectively, we expand our impact.
Empathy: Place oneself in the position of pollinators and other dwindling wildlife populations, so that we can take action in supporting their habitat needs of food, water, shelter, and places to raise young.
Holistic Approach: Consider the links and interactions of all elements in the design process (people, place, pollinators, etc.) to create solutions that are multi-functional.
Other Guiding Values:
Waxwing EcoWorks Co. Partners:
THE WAXWING E-CONNECT IS A SEASONAL e-newsletter FOR ECO-GARDENERS TO GAIN INSIGHTS ON NATIVE PLANTS, STEWARDING Tips, CLASS UPDATES, & MORE!
