By Mutt Mulligan May is Garden for Wildlife Month
May has been designated Garden for Wildlife Month and the National Wildlife Federation is encouraging you to adopt some gardening practices that will make your yard a sanctuary for wildlife. To celebrate, the organization itself is planting a tree for every wildlife habitat that is certified during the month of May. For a full list of ideas, go to NWF.
Some fun suggestions that you can do as a family include:
There’s more to a butterfly garden than pretty flowers. True, many butterflies feed on flower nectar, so blooming plants are a must for a butterfly garden. But not all butterflies do. Find out surprising ways to feed butterflies, how they can benefit from a mud puddle and how to get them to have their babies in your garden.
From bird baths to bogs and ponds, there are lots of ways to provide wildlife with water. But many gardeners don’t know how to tackle this wildlife habitat essential. Explore the various options and select the best water source for your landscape.
