Fellow Gardeners Share the Best Ways to Attract Backyard Wildlife
Check out what they had to say, and then use their inspiration to create your own backyard wildlife haven!
“Cover… lots of it. Not just a tree here and a shrub there, but many different ones blended like a natural setting.”
-Lynn J., Indiana
“Always have a water source, and always plant food sources. I’m just outside Chicago, but I have created a wonderful garden habitat in my small space. I try to find plants that shelter or can be a food source. As more wildlife comes to visit, my garden will morph!”
-Nancy L., Illinois
“Water in different types of containers. Some in bird baths (low and high), in glass bowls, in plastic/clay plant saucers with a rock in the middle, hanging in the trees, running across rocks… then sit back and enjoy!”
-Carol S., Georgia
-George M., Massachusetts
“Don’t be a neatnik; encourage a diverse habitat.”
-Dana B., Georgia
