gardening for wildlife

Gardening for wildlife involves creating a supportive environment that provides food, shelter, and resources for local animals like birds, bees, butterflies, and insects. This can be achieved by planting native plants, leaving some areas of natural growth, avoiding harmful chemicals, and providing a water source. The goal is to foster a balanced ecosystem that benefits both wildlife and gardeners, encouraging biodiversity and helping sustain species that may be declining. In essence, it’s about designing a garden that welcomes and supports the natural inhabitants of your area.
