Every area on this wonderful planet has its own natural biodiversity heritage - its unique mix of native plants and animals. The unique nature of every area is what as a whole creates the incredible natural biodiversity of our Earth. Unfortunately, natural biodiversity of plant communities has been lost from many areas for many reasons ....and this threatens the survival of native insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals - the entire ecosystem.
You can help conserve natural biodiversity by planting a small "biodiversity garden" of ecologically appropriate native plants appropriate to your area. St. Williams Biodiversity Garden Packs will grow a mix of native plants from wild-type source identified native plants appropriate to your area. The seeds for these plants have been carefully selected by St. Williams ecological restoration scientists and when planted in the correct zone by you, will contribute to Biodiversity Conservation and the unique natural beauty of your area.

The following habitat specific Biodiversity Garden Starter Packs are available:
