"Is the camera on? Which lens do I look into? Can they hear me? Don’t look at me like that, I’m new to the whole YouTube thing."
Welcome to my world!
That’s exactly how I’m feeling as I step into YouTube, excited but definitely a bit clumsy. But hey, if you’re going to dig into eco-friendly gardening, you’re bound to get a little dirt on your hands, right?
Meet NatureOlogies by DIY Nature

Hey there, I’m Amanda, a naturalist and certified Chesapeake Bay Landscape Professional. I’m also the owner and founder of DIY Nature, where I teach folks the art of planning and nurturing sustainable gardens with native plants. And let me tell you, it's more fun than a barrel of composting worms!
Whether you’re new to gardening or a seasoned green thumb, DIY Nature is here to inspire you. I’ll be posting weekly videos filled with practical tips, step-by-step guides, and eco-friendly ideas to transform your outdoor space. Whether you're creating your first pollinator garden, DIY-ing an erosion fix, or learning about native plants and wildlife, you've come to the right place.
What Is DIY Nature?
Here at DIY Nature, my mission is simple: to help you plan, design, and create functional, wildlife-friendly habitats in your yard. I specialize in native plants and sustainable landscaping techniques that make your outdoor space a people-friendly haven for local wildlife.
We offer hands-on learning through workshops, consultations, and practical resources, so you can bring nature closer to home—no matter your level of experience. Think of me as your garden coach, guiding you every step of the way.
What Is NatureOlogies?
NatureOlogies, a part of DIY Nature, takes it a step further. It dives deep into the fascinating world of ecology and environmental education. If you're curious about the ecosystems, wildlife, and conservation practices that support your backyard habitat, NatureOlogies is for you. Together, DIY Nature and NatureOlogies provide a comprehensive approach to Do-It-Yourself landscaping, teaching you how to make sustainable outdoor spaces that thrive with life.

Our Comprehensive Approach
When you join me on this journey, we’ll explore the connection between your yard and the wider environment. I’ll help you design gardens that not only look beautiful but also support pollinators, birds, other local wildlife, and yes, you. Whether it's sketching out a garden plan, getting your hands dirty with planting, or understanding the ecological impact of your choices, I’ve got you covered.

Cue the peaceful garden scene with birds and moths flying by.
