Top Ten Ways to Draw Winter Wildlife to Your Yard
Got the winter blahs? Draw winter wildlife to your yard to wipe away the gloom! You may already know this, but I am a huge proponent of gardening for wildlife. For one thing, I believe that I owe it to the wildlife living in this area. After all, we only paid off humans when we bought our property – the wildlife was left out of the negotiations. But gardening for wildlife is also a selfish act on my part. Having wildlife in my yard makes those long winter months so much more entertaining. Instead of seeing an empty garden, with nothing to look at but dormant plants, my garden is full of life, making the season so much more bearable for an eager gardener. And a yard that is robust with wildlife tends to be a healthy yard. A diverse wildlife community within your garden will keep the ecosystem in better harmony than a garden that is constantly struggling for balance by use of pesticides and herbicides (and you won’t be introducing toxins into the food chain!)
