Backyard Ecology™

Do you live in the eastern U.S. and want to grow native plants so that you can attract tons of butterflies, bees, birds, and other wildlife to your yard? Then you’re in the right place. 

We want to help you transform your yard into a beautiful, thriving ecosystem that you can enjoy and be proud of. We are passionate about sharing our expertise and love of nature with others.

Anthony has an M.S. in Agriculture and a B.S. in Wildlife Biology. Shannon has an M.S. in Ecology and a B.S. in Wildlife Biology. Shannon has also written multiple books, and we both enjoy giving presentations and keynotes.
