The Architecture of Wildlife is an anchor to spiritual living.
It has principles of biodiversity of plant communities and self care through nature that we live alongside with wildlife. It is a practice of connecting with our sacred garden and spaces, it is a plant diary, and it is natural philosophy for those who are curious about a creative lifestyle with the wonders of the natural world.

The Architecture of Wildlife Nature Journaling
Enhance Your observation skills, creativity, and connection to Mother Earth with nature journaling.
Nature Journaling is a hands-on workshop designed to guide you in observing and documenting the beauty of the natural world, right from your own garden or favorite outdoor haven.
Join us as we explore the fundamentals of nature journaling, using simple tools to sketch, write, and record the wildlife, plants, and landscapes that surround you. Whether you’re new to journaling or looking to deepen your practice, this course is perfect for anyone who wants to enhance their observation skills, creativity, and connection to Mother Earth.
Our wildlife garden expert travels around the hemisphere to document wildlife observations in landscapes to better understand them and the qualities they thrive on to be a better designer for them and people. She teaches at bird festivals, and one-one workshops in the gardens with her community called “Breakfast and Birding” which is held only during the fall season and must live in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Many migrating wildlife have a unique and sacred path. Look above and see if you live parallel to the Central, Mississippi, Pacific, or the Atlantic flyway. Bring this adventure and observations during the seasons to your own nature journal.

Meet Melissa
I am a nature journalist, designer of landscapes for the next generation of trees and plants, and pollinator garden designer among other things! I am very passionate about crafting intentional work for my clients that is very hands-on. I create plant palettes by pressing flowers when discussing garden designs to connect my clients with the natural world the moment they begin working with me. I am a multi-passionate creator that loves to travel to better understand the architecture of wildlife that has enhanced my way of living and I invite you to explore the infinite ways and many avenues of doing so.
