There was a cute write up about May’s garden theme at my local nursery, so I had to share it! Enjoy!

Making Sustainability Second Nature™
The National Wildlife Federation, based in Reston, VA, has declared May as “Garden for Wildlife Month.” From bird watchers to butterfly lovers, many of us want our gardens to be a haven not just for flora, but also for local fauna. Here are a few tips to make your home garden more hospitable to wildlife:
- Do not use chemicals. Pesticides, herbicides, inorganic fertilizers, etc. should be banned from your garden.
- Reduce your turfgrass lawn. Create dense shrub and perennial borders for birds and other creatures to make a home in.
