Creating a wildlife habitat does not happen overnight, it takes time and patience. Starting small is a wise idea; pick a section of your: yard, park, school or business and reserve it for the "critters".
It is fun to research which native plants will perform best in the environment that you have chosen; there are numerous websites and books to assist you with this process.
In our previous post, Why Not A Butterfly Garden?, we mentioned that Ken and Paula Korber have been working for several years on developing a yard which is welcoming to: birds, bees, butterflies, skippers along with a host of other insects. I think you will be a bit surprised by some of their other garden guests.
"We have a thistle-feeder in the back for the Goldfinches.
Guess "fresh" tastes better."
