-   Henry David Thoreau, Journal, October 31, 1860

  • Wildlife In Your Garden
    Everyone is responsible for the environment. Individuals can help by making one's home friendly to wildlife and animals either big or small.

  • Benefits of a Water Garden
    A water garden brings the unique wildlife of your region out of the shadows so that you can get to know them, and you just might be surprised at what you discover.

  • Sometimes It's Good to be A Little Messy
    A not-so-neat garden with lots of layers -- brush, leaves and weeds -- is a perfect habitat for birds. Not only are they fun to look at, it's a great source of joy to hear them chatter in the morning and evening, especially if you live in an urban area.
