Garden for wildlife
I garden for wildlife in zone 8b in South Carolina on a fourth of an acre in a subdivision. You can make a difference! You can have a beautiful garden and support wildlife at the same time. I also incorporate herbs and vegetables in my garden. I stopped using chemical pesticides and opted for natural alternatives. Since doing so my bee population has doubled. Bees are some of the world’s most important pollinators. I also compost my kitchen scrapes and yard trims. My garden consists of native, perennials, and annual plants. I have both nectar and host plants and I always include milkweed for the Monarchs. My garden supplies shelter, food, and water. I also enjoy taking photos of my garden and all of my wildlife visitors.
