Creating a Wildlife-Friendly Garden

Want to attract more birds, butterflies, and other wildlife to your garden? Creating a wildlife-friendly garden is easier than you might think. Start by planting native species of plants that provide food and shelter for local wildlife. Avoid using pesticides and herbicides, as these can harm beneficial insects and other creatures. Instead, opt for natural methods of pest control, such as companion planting and attracting predatory insects like ladybugs. Provide a water source, such as a bird bath or shallow dish, for birds and other animals to drink from and bathe in. Finally, consider adding features like a bird feeder or butterfly garden to attract even more wildlife to your yard. With a little planning and effort, you can create a beautiful garden that’s teeming with life.
